Biography
Vermeulen was born in Roeselare. He studied economics at the Universitaire Faculteiten Sint-Ignatius Antwerpen (UFSIA) (now part of the University of Antwerp) and then a degree in international politics at the University of Antwerp. During this studies, he served as president of the conservative Katholiek Vlaams Hoogstudentenverbond student society and later served as secretary of the Flemish People's Movement (VVB), of which Peter De Roover was then general chairman.[1]
After graduating, he became a managing director for housing company DeMandel[2] and then a project director for the Durabrik Group development firm. He then worked as a real estate broker. In 1999 he became a treasurer of the football club KSK Roeselare and helped to supervise its merger with KFC Roeselare to become KSV Roeselare. He served as the club's treasurer for several years before becoming its manager until the club's disbandment.[3]
In 2012, he was elected as a municipal councilor for the Flemish N-VA party in Roeselare. In the 2014 Belgian federal election, Vermeulen headed the party's list for the West Flanders constituency and was elected to the Chamber of Representatives.[4] In November 2014, he was appointed chairman of the Committee of Home Affairs in the Chamber and sat on the board of the political reform group.[5]
Vermeulen stood in the 2019 Belgian federal election but was replaced as the list puller for West Flanders by Sander Loones. Despite a good score on preference votes, he lost his seat after the N-VA saw losses in the region to Vlaams Belang.[6]
In 2020, Vermeulen left politics to take up a company director position in the private sector.[7]
