Meet Neuhaus CEO Isabel Baert

Luxury chocolate: Preserving tradition while driving innovation

Neuhaus has been crafting exquisite Belgian chocolates since 1857, when its first boutique opened in Brussels’ Galerie de la Reine. Known for its rich heritage  - Neuhaus invented the praline - and artisanal craftsmanship, the brand continues to honour its traditions while evolving for the future.


Leading this evolution is Isabel Baert, CEO of Neuhaus. At just 38 years old, she is guiding the company through ambitious growth while ensuring that every praline remains a true product of Belgian craftsmanship. In this event, she will share insights on keeping a 160-year-old brand relevant today, balancing heritage with innovation, the rise of e-commerce, modernising operations, sustainability, and shaping company culture for the future.


Don’t miss this inspiring conversation, followed by a live chocolate praline dipping experience!
