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.
