I've been working at the intersection of valuation, investment, and entrepreneurship for over twenty years. My career began at Rabobank International, where I worked on international investment projects for six years. This period taught me to closely examine value, risk, and growth. At the Brabant Development Agency (BOM), I then had the opportunity to closely participate in the development of innovative companies and further develop their financing strategies. There, I established an investment fund for high-tech startups.

My move to Start Foundation, an impact-oriented investment fund, gave my work an extra layer of meaning. There, I assess companies based on both financial and social value. This combination aligns with my perspective on entrepreneurship: value goes beyond mere numbers. Collaborating with Generous Minds therefore felt like a natural fit.

Since 2011, I have been an independent and certified Registered Valuator. Through my company, 2RV2, I have performed over 210 official valuations. I believe it's important that a valuation is not only technically sound but also recognizable and useful for both entrepreneurs and investors.

I was also co-founder and CFO of the medtech company Plasmacure and later CFO at Phlecs in Eindhoven. Those years in the startup world, with all its dynamics, choices, and uncertainties, deepened my perspective on valuation and investing. I know what it's like to be at the table as an entrepreneur, not just an advisor. What drives me is helping entrepreneurs and investors gain clarity about value, direction, and opportunities. I joined Generous Minds because I believe in entrepreneurship that adds value to our world, and because I enjoy collaborating with people who share the same motivation.
