Jeroen Martens Senior corporate finance advisor

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.

With the acquisition of Marquette Detachering, the Flexfactory workforce has grown to more than 4,000 employees. Across the French Actual Leader Group, the total number of employees is around 120,000.
