About Me
I am a search acquisition entrepreneur.
After building a career for 17 years at large corporate organizations, I am currently taking on my largest goal. My mission the following:
1] Find a great company, whose owner is facing a challenge with succession
2] Acquire that business ( 1 M€ - 5 M€ in EBITDA) and preserve the legacy built by its owner
3] Run it as CEO and bring it to the next level
I am focused on companies that are active in the Business Services industry and are located in a radius of 300 km around Brussels, BELGIUM.
To realize my mission I have partnered with WAD Capital as a strategic and financial partner. You can find more information about WAD Capital on their website.
