LEVA-EU is delighted to welcome Harold Tor-Daenens as our new Policy Director. Harold will work closely with Managing Director Annick Roetynck to elevate LEVA-EU’s policy outreach and advocacy at the EU level.

With over two decades of experience in international and EU advocacy, Harold is well-prepared to strengthen LEVA-EU’s position within EU institutions. He previously served as Head of Digital at GPLUS and Head of Communications at the Centre for xEuropean Policy Studies. Alongside supporting European companies and trade associations in the shipping and postal sectors, Harold also lectures on technology regulations—such as the AI Act—and EU-level advocacy.

On his appointment, Harold comments:

“This sector perfectly aligns with my personal vision for sustainability and urban mobility. We have a unique opportunity to help our cities and towns transition to carbon-free mobility, and I’m convinced that light electric vehicles are a significant part of that future!”

Harold holds a master’s degree in international relations from the Institute of Political Sciences in Paris and speaks English, French, Dutch, and Mandarin Chinese, with working knowledge of German.
