Who is Jacques Vermeire? 

Jacques' career is one of highs and lows. As a young man he was rejected from all conservatories, years later he won a contract worth 1 billion as a TV personality. Jacques really has everything from the all-round top entertainer of our time: 100% name recognition, several awards, a disarming appearance on stage and a talent for humor, completely original and completely timeless. 

Now there is another idiot of 65+, who, 30 years after his late breakthrough, turns out to be an inspiring entrepreneur. The Flandrien of Lach who shows himself to be an unwavering man of his word. The guru of a new generation of stand-uppers who is an entertainer with an authentic story. The king of the characters who turns out to be a person with a vision, a businessman with a face. Share Jacques Vermeire's experience and knowledge and have fun doing it.

    Enterprise in the university of life

    As a young man, he was rejected by all the academies; years later, he is a TV personality who has won a 1-billion contract. He has been a famous face for over 30 years, is widely lauded for his loyalty, but once had to learn of his firing in the newspapers. At that point, the comedian decided to manage his own affairs, ready to conquer all the major venues again. Ups and downs: the life of a top artist who, from the outset, thinks in terms of investment, ambition and portfolio.

    As a boy scout, he discovered that he could make people laugh; now, he inspires entrepreneurs with his recognisable and animated tale. An energetic lesson in entrepreneurship, learned at the school of hard knocks.

    From stage to fatherhood and back again

    He has been a famous face for over 30 years and is widely lauded for his loyalty. However, he has also seen his personal dramas appear as front-page news in the media. In the meantime, he has switched from artist to father... and back again. Jacques is always ready to have large audiences roaring with laughter. As he now knows, a comedian must always be cheerful.

    Investing in fun things

    Since 1995, Jacques has been investing in wine, comic strips, cinema posters, etc. - the fun things in life. Stock market gurus often talk about profit and potential, but keep their lips firmly shut about failures. Banks advise you to invest on the stock market, but shares can nose-dive and become completely worthless. People who recommend shares needn’t pity collectors. Because the biggest profits over the past 20 years have been made away from the stock market. The wine trade has exploded since the Chinese decided to buy wine. And why does Jacques Vermeire buy cinema posters? Because he finds them aesthetically appealing. He has an eye for such things. Nothing that he has purchased over the past 20 years has become worthless. His copy of Tintin au pays des Soviets has proven to be a good investment and perfectly reflects his vision: invest in fun things.

    Jacques on demand

    Raising teenagers in the past and present: Jacques compares his childhood years in the Fifties and Sixties of the previous century to those of his own teenage children. Entertaining and full of anecdotes and wisdom.

    Dealing with the media; a difficult marriage: how does a celebrity deal with the press in that grey zone between privacy and professional communication? Jacques has experienced it all, as shown through the many sardonic as well as uplifting anecdotes.

Jacques is someone who can present a substantive story in a fun and light-hearted way. He inspires and entertains at the same time, so you continue to follow his lecture with attention. It was not just another boring theoretical presentation, but a fun hour with a lot of content.

micro

Jacques Vermeire was a guest speaker at a PMV/Z event where he spoke about entrepreneurship. He gave tips and tricks to an audience of bankers and entrepreneurs, peppered with anecdotes and experiences. He shared his stories in both a convincing and engaging manner. It was an explanation without funny words, but still in a typical 'Vermeire style'. This was a Jacques Vermeire like we haven't seen much of before. Despite some skepticism and questions in advance, Jacques Vermeire managed to win over friend and foe with his honest and sincere explanation, which was extremely appreciated.
