Across borders and decades ....

Christian Fillet’s leadership has quietly shaped the European Social Network — and the people within it.

His presence was never about volume, but about vision. Through calm determination, integrity, and a deep belief in the power of public social services, Christian inspired those around him — not with grand gestures, but with steady, thoughtful leadership.

In this space, colleagues, friends, and policy leaders from across Europe share their personal messages, stories, and reflections. These are more than just words of thanks — they are testaments to the relationships he built, the trust he earned, and the legacy he leaves behind.
