About

One foot in Europe.
Both hands in the Americas.

ILANOA is led by Brieuc Hanssens — Belgian by origin. 25 years on the ground alongside European companies expanding into Latin America and the US.

European roots, decades across the Americas — that's what makes the difference. Every destination has its own pace, its own rhythm, its own way of building trust. Brussels, New York, Santo Domingo, Miami — each one different. That's what we bring.

"A good navigator doesn't just read the map. They read the wind, the current, and the people on board."

Our core focus is European companies entering the Americas — but we also work with US and Latin American companies navigating cross-border growth.
