Specialist in mergers and acquisitions

My name is Jeroen Martens and I have been advising and guiding mergers and acquisitions since 2006. What I enjoy most is the contact with you as an entrepreneur: it's about the dream or vision you have as an entrepreneur, its realization, and its success. Mergers and acquisitions are complex processes, in which an experienced advisor and guide can offer a lot of added value. With my knowledge and experience, I can help you turn your dream into a success.

In the insurance brokerage market, a wave of consolidation has been underway for years, with scale and efficiency becoming key drivers for continued growth and innovation.
