Let me assist you

Innovation, corporate finance, and venture capital have been central themes throughout my career, alongside my passion for entrepreneurship. I began my journey as a publisher at Wolters Kluwer and went on to hold management positions at Philips, where my primary responsibilities included developing and executing innovation strategies and scouting for emerging innovations within and beyond the organization. This experience led me to engage with M&A and corporate venturing, culminating in my role as a partner at an M&A boutique for 15 years and as a founding partner of Carduso Capital, a €31 million venture capital fund, over the past decade.

With this extensive background, I am well-equipped to assist you with various interim and project-based assignments to help you achieve your goals:

- Selling your company or Business Unit;  
- Acquiring companies;  
- Building strategies and founding startups;  
- Venture building and funding.

Interim/ZZP basis as well as on project or other basis.
