As a member of the investment team, I meet, work with, and invest behind ambitious business leaders building high-quality businesses. From discussing large, strategic questions, to helping with small but important challenges – we work together from start to finish, and hopefully have some fun along the way.

I joined ECI in 2026, having previously invested in services businesses throughout Europe. Prior to ECI, I was a member of the investment team at private equity firms KLAR Partners and CD&R, and I began my career at investment bank Credit Suisse in London. I grew up in both the Netherlands and Norway, and studied at ESADE Business School in Spain.

01 WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST EVER JOB?

During high school I worked weekends at our local McDonald’s, a great place to learn about teamwork and the importance of strong systems and processes in a successful business.

02 WHAT'S THE BEST PLACE YOU'VE EVER VISITED?

The national parks in Canada and the US offer seemingly endless hiking trails with stunning scenery. Glacier National Park is particularly memorable: while admiring the views over Mt Grinnell, a friendly grizzly bear wandered past us on the trail – slightly closer to nature than we had planned.

03 WHAT HOBBY HAVE YOU INVESTED THE MOST TIME IN?

I hold a private pilot license for small airplanes. Whilst the British weather doesn’t always cooperate, I try to fly whenever I can.
