Jerry’s roots are in the beating heart of horticulture in the Netherlands. A born gardener’s son who first set out to explore the international world of hospitality by studying at Hotelschool The Hague. After various experiences abroad, Jerry decided to deepen his financial knowledge by following a Master’s degree in Finance at Nyenrode Business University and a postgraduate degree in Business Valuation at Erasmus Business University. Jerry is registered as a Register Valuator in the Dutch Register of Register Valuators. This allows him to help entrepreneurs with complex valuation issues.
Jerry has gained his experience over the past 12 years with merger and acquisitions within the SME and mid-market segment, both internationally strategic and Private Equity. The common denominator in this is that Jerry mainly gets energy from helping entrepreneurs with strategic opportunities which are not part of their daily core business.
Strategic decision initially based on ratio, but ultimately also on feeling.
