As a student-entrepreneur, he co-founded Readeal in April 1988, which would later become Selligent, a software company specializing in CRM and digital marketing. For more than thirty years, he played a key role in the company\u2019s growth and international expansion.  <\/p>\n<p>Alongside his career as an entrepreneur, his passion for cars led him, in the late 1990s, to start his own collection of classic cars. He then devoted much of his free time to sourcing, maintaining, and restoring his cars, thereby developing a practical understanding of the market and the realities of owning a classic car. <\/p>\n<p>In 2020, he left Selligent for good and founded Route59 to put his experience and collector\u2019s eye to work for other enthusiasts. Advice, transparency, the quality of the cars offered, and personalized service naturally became the founding principles of Route59. <\/p>\n<\/div><div style=\"text-align:left;\"><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat button-medium button-default fusion-button-default button-1 fusion-button-default-span fusion-button-default-type\" style=\"--awb-margin-top:20px;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/thierrytechy\/\"><span class=\"fusion-button-text awb-button__text awb-button__text--default\">LinkedIn Profile<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-2 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-padding-top:75px;--awb-padding-right:14%;--awb-padding-bottom:65px;--awb-padding-left:14%;--awb-padding-top-medium:60px;--awb-padding-right-medium:9%;--awb-padding-bottom-medium:55px;--awb-padding-left-medium:9%;--awb-padding-top-small:50px;--awb-padding-right-small:30px;--awb-padding-bottom-small:45px;--awb-padding-left-small:30px;--awb-margin-top:0px;--awb-margin-bottom:0px;--awb-background-color:#f2faf9;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-center fusion-flex-justify-content-center fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:calc( 1215px + 0px );margin-left: calc(-0px \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-0px \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-blend:overlay;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:0px;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-spacing-right-medium:0px;--awb-spacing-left-medium:0px;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-spacing-right-small:0px;--awb-spacing-left-small:0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-justify-content-center fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>SHARE AND GET INVOLVED<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>BEHVA<\/h3>\n<p>Thierry is a board member of BEHVA, the Belgian Historic Vehicle Association.
