I am a trusted legal and strategic advisor to boards, business owners, and senior executives of multinational corporations, family offices, and investment funds. With decades of cross-border experience, I help leaders navigate complex transactions, governance challenges, and strategic planning across industries and geographies.
My work spans the full lifecycle of corporate activity — from structuring and tax planning, to M&A execution, to implementing governance frameworks and resolving shareholder disputes. Having advised a global conglomerate with multi-billion-euro revenues and diverse operations spanning technology, manufacturing, retail, and emerging markets, I understand the realities of steering high-value, multi-jurisdictional enterprises.
Fluent in Dutch, English, French, and Italian, with business proficiency in German, I operate seamlessly across linguistic and cultural boundaries, ensuring clarity and trust in every engagement.
Through a worldwide network of investors, advisors, and industry leaders, I connect the right people and resources to advance ambitious commercial goals. Combining technical precision with pragmatic, solution-oriented thinking, I enable decision-makers to act with clarity, confidence, and control in high-stakes environments.
