With nearly three decades at Microsoft, Frank Callewaert brings unmatched expertise in bridging cutting-edge technology with the regulatory realities of government and enterprise. As Chief Technology Officer and certified Data Protection Officer, he helps institutions navigate the future with confidence, aligning AI, HPC, and quantum innovation with compliance, strategy and security.

Frank works closely with EU institutions, government agencies and regulated industries to anticipate disruption, implement secure cloud environments, and evaluate readiness for post-quantum cryptography. His mission: to help organisations future-proof operations while driving responsible innovation.

Whether guiding C-level leaders through the implications of emerging tech or addressing moderately technical audiences, Frank’s style is precise, strategic and grounded in real-world application. Outside of work, he’s a design enthusiast, often seen wearing high-tech glasses from Belgian innovators, and if he weren’t in tech, he’d likely be designing future-ready architecture instead.
