Uncensored: The Real Talk on Rare & Pharma in BeNeLux
The Karel FOL Management podcast brings you honest conversations with founders, scientists and business experts. Discover how early-stage ideas grow into impactful companies, and gain insights to support your own journey as a start-up.
This podcast brings bold, candid conversations from the frontlines of BioPharma, Rare Diseases, and healthcare strategy across Belgium and the broader BeNeLux region.
As your host, I’ll draw from decades in the industry to dive deep with thought leaders, disruptors, and changemakers—unpacking what it really takes to launch innovative therapies, secure market access, navigate regulations, and drive commercial success in one of Europe’s most complex and exciting life sciences ecosystems.

Where the podcast journey began
At the end of 2023 I was asked by Olivia Janssens from United Talent to join her for a Podcast on how I look at my career, my experiences and why I believe I generated some successes. It was shared on LinkedIn in January 2024. And I really liked the process and outcome.
So once I decided I would set up my own Mgm Company I reflected on doing the same kind of Podcasts with people i worked with on specific projects. I really liked working with them, and as I am proud of the outcome of these shared projects, I am happy to share our experiences.
First podcast to be released very soon…. Stay tuned!
