After being honored with the Inspiring Leader Award, Steven Braekeveldt received the APCE 2019 Grand Prize - for the Portuguese Business Communication Association - in the category "Communicator CEO of the Year".

The APCE Grand Prize distinguishes Excellence in Organizational Communication in all its aspects - external, internal and integrated - through a jury elected by the members of the APCE board of directors and a group of professionals from companies operating in Portugal. The delivery of the award, to the CEO of the Ageas Portugal Group, took place last March 28 at Casino Estoril.

To Steven Braekeveldt "It is a pleasure and honor to receive this award and be distinguished by a jury composed of personalities so recognized in their professional fields. But this is a prize that also belongs to each of the Group employees - it is a privilege to lead Ageas in a country where we want to have an impact and be a pioneer in long-term change. Communication is an essential tool to reach the heart of our Clients, Partners and Society and helps us to make a difference, add value and awaken minds to important topics that impact lives and people. And being honored for it is an incredible motivation for the future."

The APCE Grand Prize was created in 1995 with the mission of distinguishing excellence in organizational communication strategy, stimulating, recognizing and disseminating the initiatives of professionals in this area.
