At JBR I experience daily that a successful M&A transaction goes far beyond the financial picture. Thorough analyses, market insights and valuations form the foundation of the transaction, but just as important is managing the process and carefully dealing with the interests and emotions of all parties involved.

An acquisition or restructuring is often a defining moment in the lives of entrepreneurs and investors. This requires not only a sharp analysis, but also empathy, trust and the ability to bring different interests together. I feel at home in these dynamics: sharp and clear in analysis, personal in collaboration. I believe that every transaction is only truly successful when both the business and human sides are in balance.

Since January 2025 I started working at JBR as a working student. At the same time I am finishing my master Financial Economics at Erasmus University Rotterdam and writing my thesis. The combination of study and practice offers me the ideal opportunity to apply my academic knowledge directly, build up further experience and deepen my passion for corporate finance.
