Executives of Belgian Public Companies - revisited!
Long time ago, when dinosaurs roamed the earth and Neo4j was just a tiny cute little junior graph database ;-), I wrote a 2 part blogpost about a newspaper article that I had come across in De Tijd about the network of executives of Belgian public companies. You can find the articles over here: Part 1 and Part 2. Turns out - and I really was not aware of this until recently - that the newspaper has been running this type of publication on a yearly basis. Here's another article from 2018 on De Tijd’s website.
So imagine my surprise a few weeks ago, when I was contacted by one of the authors of that article, Thomas Roelens, to verify some info for the 2020 edition of this analysis. We had a great chat, and Thomas basically asked me to double check some of the analysis that he had done himself already. So, contrary to what happened in 2017 (where I had to dig into the HTML source to download the info from the website - Thomas just sent it to me, and basically allowed me to take it for a spin :) ...
Meanwhile, Thomas' article has been published in the newspaper: you can find it over here or over here. But here's my update below too.
