About
FoxAdvice was born out of the idea that many people encounter obstacles in their career development or professional life. In such instances external help is useful to overcome these barriers.
We can partner with you to alleviate the pressure, address a difficult situation and/or help to achieve a major milestone.
We stand for excellence and industry best practices to empower entrepreneurs and individuals to realise their goals. We have a holistic approach that looks beyond the workplace which encompasses a positive mindset, is solution driven and fit for purpose.
Joel De Vos
Founder & Managing Partner at FoxAdvice
“I like to shake things up and put the puzzle pieces into the right place. My entrepreneurial heart and expertise in HR combined with an affinity for strategic and innovative thinking enable me to design out-of-the-box concepts and challenge the status quo.”
Growing up in a middle-income family with changing circumstances, Joel had a difficult start into his adulthood with a cancer diagnosis at 18. After 2 years and winning the fight against cancer, he found himself with a mountain of debt, no career and no prospects in life.
With support of his friends, family and faith, he was able to face these challenges and overcome them. In his mid-twenties he changed his career from the hospitality industry to HR, keeping in line with his love for people but wanting to serve in another way. He became an accomplished HR professional with work experience in various sectors including one of the most well-established consultancy firms in Europe (Big Four).
Nowadays, Joël is a husband, a father and as of 2022 a marathon runner. He puts his faith into action by volunteering in his local church, supporting people in the margins of society as well as (cancer) patients and their families.

Aisling van Vliet
Consultant & Partner at FoxAdvice
“I’m driven by a genuine curiosity about people, organisations, and the stories behind them. I believe everyone has unique strengths, and while we share common needs, some face greater challenges.
My focus is on looking beyond those limitations and building bridges towards a better future, guided by my faith.”
Growing up in a multicultural family and living in different countries shaped my open-minded perspective and ability to connect across cultures. Early experiences—such as supporting street-connected youth in Uganda and working with a youth organisation in Australia—deepened my commitment to inclusion and opportunity.
I studied sociology in Leuven and Ghent, and during an Erasmus exchange in Denmark, I saw how inclusive systems can empower those on the margins. Over the past 15 years, I’ve worked in the NGO and public sectors, always with a strong focus on social impact.
Today, at FoxAdvice, we strive to be responsible stewards of time, talent, and resources, actively investing in social initiatives that contribute to the wellbeing of people and the planet.
