Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery Testing Manager

Jul 2026 – present

BNP Paribas Fortis — Brussels, Belgium · Hybrid

Ensuring the bank stays resilient when it matters most. Leads the end-to-end lifecycle of BCP/DR testing across BNP Paribas Fortis’ Belgian entities, bridging Group-level strategy with local operational reality.

  • Constructive challenge — Challenging business and IT teams on their continuity assumptions, recovery capabilities (RTO/RPO) and test readiness — because a plan that hasn’t been tested is just a hypothesis.
  • Incident recovery decisions — Determining restart priorities and recovery sequencing following incidents, balancing business criticality, dependencies and risk exposure.
  • Regulatory resilience — Contributing to compliance with operational resilience requirements (DORA, NBB/ECB expectations) through evidence-based testing and continuous improvement.
