Wat ik bied
What I offer
Grote beslissingen worden zelden genomen op basis van informatie alleen. Ze vragen om onafhankelijk oordeel, ervaring en het vermogen om voorbij de vanzelfsprekendheden te kijken.
Important decisions are rarely made on the basis of information alone. They require independent judgement, experience, and the ability to challenge assumptions.
Onafhankelijk toezicht en strategische reflectie
Independent perspective. Better decisions. Long-term value.
Besturen en toezichthouders opereren in een omgeving van toenemende complexiteit. Ik ondersteun raden van commissarissen, aandeelhouders en directies bij strategie, governance, investeringen en waardecreatie.
Boards are often confronted with decisions that cannot be solved by expertise alone. I support supervisory boards, advisory boards and executive teams in navigating complex decisions and creating long-term value.

Institutional investment expertise without building an investment team
Veel ondernemers en familievermogens beschikken over kapitaal maar niet over de capaciteit om investeringen structureel te beoordelen en begeleiden. Ik bied de expertise van een ervaren investeringsdirecteur op flexibele basis.
Many investors and family offices have access to capital but lack the internal resources to source, evaluate and actively manage investment opportunities. I provide independent investment expertise on a flexible basis.

A trusted sounding board for founders, CEOs and investors
Hoe groter de verantwoordelijkheid, hoe kleiner de groep mensen waarmee je écht kunt sparren. Wat bestuurders en ondernemers zoeken is een onafhankelijke gesprekspartner die durft tegen te spreken — en helpt om betere beslissingen te nemen.
The higher the stakes, the fewer people there are who can challenge your thinking without an agenda. Most executives don't need more advice — they need a trusted sparring partner who understands strategy, finance, governance and the realities of building companies.

Testimonials
"Wilco is analytically strong, critical and realistic, communicates clearly, and actively contributes to finding good solutions. He also has a strong sense for people and relationships. Combined with his technical background, financial knowledge and open-minded approach, this makes Wilco someone I can strongly recommend to any organisation looking for a knowledgeable and reliable professional."
Frank Giezen
Former CEO, Ojah
"What I particularly appreciated was his combination of intellectual curiosity and decency. He asked challenging questions without being adversarial, was supportive during difficult periods, and consistently approached discussions with empathy and respect for the founders and the team. I would recommend him to founders looking for an investor who combines sound judgment, genuine interest in complex technologies, and a collaborative, constructive approach to company building."
Nigel Wallbridge
Executive Chairman & Founder, Vivent Biosignals
"As a board observer at eternal.ag, Wilco has been playing a crucial role in bringing different perspectives to the table, whether it be from an investment point of view, horticulture sector knowledge, or access to his expansive network. His calm demeanor and thoughtful points have always had a multiplying effect on important discussions within our company. One thing I truly appreciate about him is also that he is always at the table in good times and, more importantly, the bad. It has been a pleasure working with him, and I would heartily recommend him in an advisory position at any company."
Renji John
CEO, eternal.ag

Over Wilco
About Wilco
Gedurende mijn loopbaan heb ik ondernemers, investeerders en managementteams geholpen bij het realiseren van duurzame waardecreatie. Mijn ervaring omvat venture capital, private equity, herstructureringen, portefeuillemanagement en bestuursadvisering.
Throughout my career I have helped entrepreneurs, investors and management teams achieve sustainable value creation. My background spans venture capital, private equity, restructuring, portfolio management and board advisory roles.
Ik geloof dat investeren, ondernemerschap en bestuur uiteindelijk om dezelfde vraag draaien: hoe neem je goede beslissingen in een wereld die fundamenteel onzeker is?
I believe that investing, entrepreneurship and governance ultimately revolve around the same question: how do you make good decisions in a world that is fundamentally uncertain?
Naast mijn adviespraktijk schrijf ik — over strategie en waardecreatie, en over de grote vragen die het leven stelt. Een investeerder die ook romans schrijft, kijkt anders: analytische scherpte gecombineerd met verbeeldingskracht.
Alongside my advisory practice, I write — about strategy and value creation, and about the larger questions that life poses. An investor who also writes novels sees things differently: analytical sharpness combined with imagination.
