About Me

As an MBA graduate (Cum Laude, KU Leuven), I chose corporate finance because numbers directly shape how businesses grow, raise capital and create value — and I want to contribute to that process with rigour and real commercial intent.

Relocated to Belgium to build a career in corporate finance, I bring advisory exposure and live deal experience, and I want to work for organisations where financial analysis drives meaningful decisions.

Currently on a zoekjaar permit, actively seeking an analyst role in corporate finance, investment banking or commercial lending in the Benelux region.
