Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands
Most European expansions don't fail at the entry stage. They fail when the first investor, lender, or acquirer looks at the structure. That moment is where I start. Most issues in European expansion are not technical. They are coordination failures. Tax, legal, governance, and finance are designed in isolation, and no one owns the structure as a whole. I do. As a Tax Partner at Taxture (member of Andersen Global), I work with U.S., Canadian, and U.K. companies at the moment they commit to Europe, when the structure is still open, and the decisions are still reversible. My counterparts are boards, CFOs, and investors making decisions that cannot easily be undone. I work with PE-backed groups building investor-ready EU platforms and corporates using the Netherlands as their gateway to the continent, across energy, technology, and financial services. A significant part of my work involves cross-border energy investments, including oil and gas structuring in Suriname. Clear thinking. Calm execution. Structures that hold under pressure and under due diligence. If you are entering Europe, raising capital, or reviewing your structure ahead of a transaction, this is the moment to get it right. 📞 +31 6 11 83 0473 ✉️ [email protected]
