Filip’s link with Marktlink

“I have experience in supporting acquisitions of both large corporates and small and midsize companies. My focus has long been on the SME market. Meeting passionate entrepreneurs fascinates me immensely. Martktlink is a young, dynamic player in the market. They are no doubters, but doers. I consider the introduction of Marktlink in the Belgian market as a wonderful opportunity to build something up from a clean slate. Independently and competently, we wish to provide answers to the questions and challenges entrepreneurs have in the area of succession and acquisitions.”
