During a long period of employment with internationally operating companies in retail, construction and manufacturing, I have served in various managerial and executive finance positions in the Netherlands, Asia, Africa, USA and the Caribbean. In 1999 I made a switch to become a partner in an M&A boutique. I joined CFS Corporate Finance & Strategy as partner and co-owner in 2002. A number of transactions, primarily in energy and manufacturing, have been successfully concluded over the years as advisor to acquiring as well as selling principals. Aside from M&A transactions, my focus lies on advising clients on a strategic corporate level, including restructuring and refinancing of the company.
