Koen’s link with Marktlink
“After my studies, I was looking for a good place to start my career in M&A. Through a friend I ended up at Marktlink. I was very enthusiastic about the entrepreneurial character of the organisation beforehand and during the application process my enthusiasm only increased. Entrepreneurship has always been of paramount importance to me and I am looking forward to working with SME entrepreneurs on a new step in their lives”.
