People from Jette

François, Baron Narmon (26 January 1934 – 14 March 2013) was a Belgian businessman and president of Dexia Group and the Belgian Olympic Committee. From 2002 until 2004 he was a member of the International Olympic Committee.
Born in Jette, Narmon obtained a licentiate degree as commercial engineer from the Université libre de Bruxelles (École de commerce Solvay). He lectured on accountancy at the Université libre de Bruxelles and the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, and made the local Gemeentekrediet into the financial enterprise Dexia. He died on 14 March 2013 in Meise.

Jan Verdoodt (1908–1980) came from Sint-Pieters-Jette in Belgium. He attended the Academie van Sint-Jans-Molenbeek from 1926, under Frans Persoons, where he was attracted equally by Realism (in the work of Eugène Laermans) and Surrealism (in Magritte's paintings). He developed his own style by combining these two schools, creating 'a kind of magic realism in which dream and reality, woman and nature, were intimately bound together'.
