Sven Van Roosenbroek
Founder & Managing Director
Sven leads every Galactus mandate directly, bringing independent executive judgment to IT decisions, transformations, transactions, and interventions.

Judgment shaped inside the work.
Sven founded Galactus after seventeen years leading IT from inside telecom, construction, infrastructure, and industrial groups. His operating experience spans international IT departments, major digital programs, mergers, earn-outs, and carve-outs across countries.
At Galactus, he works directly with boards, executives, and IT leaders to turn incomplete evidence and competing priorities into decisions, ownership, and an execution path that can survive scrutiny.
Clear boundaries make better decisions.
Executive context
Technology choices are framed against business priorities, decision rights, budget reality, and operational risk.
Evidence discipline
Claims count when the evidence can be shown, challenged, and used to support a defensible next move.
Independent judgment
No reseller agreements, referral fees, commissions, or vendor incentives shape the recommendation.
