About me: I’ve always been fascinated by people who build things from the ground up. At ROM InWest, a Dutch impact-driven venture capital fund, I spent two and a half years working alongside founders turning early ideas into real companies across tech, health and energy. From the first pitch to the final term sheet, I learnt that investing is as much about people as it is about numbers. It’s about backing vision and helping it grow.
Now at LBS, I’m pursuing the MiFFT programme to sharpen my analytical edge and connect my venture background with a deeper understanding of global private markets. What I enjoy most at LBS is the mix of ambition and openness: people genuinely want to learn from each other and push boundaries together.
Half French, half Dutch, I thrive in international settings and enjoy bridging perspectives.
Three topics I can be approached about: MiFFT; venture capital; life in London.
