Gert van Drie: “By entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs – that’s the core for me”
Gert, who grew up in an entrepreneurial family, joined Quadrum Capital at the end of 2016:
“I was drawn to the idea of investing by and for entrepreneurs: co-investing and building alongside (former) entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial families to support the growth journeys of other business owners and their companies. We actively contribute to the next phase in their development, always prioritizing the long-term interests of the business. At the table with entrepreneurs, I find this vision truly resonates. There are many opportunities for an investor who genuinely stands beside the entrepreneur. I look forward to fulfilling my role as Partner and continuing to build and grow together every day.”
Hedzer Wester: “We’ve experienced tremendous growth with Quadrum Capital”
Hedzer started 12 years ago as an Investment Analyst at Quadrum Capital. Over the years, he progressed to Investment Manager, and now to Investment Director:
“I’ve seen the organization grow from a regional ‘Twente-based’ firm into a nationally operating, mature investment company with 30 colleagues, five funds, and international activities. I’m excited to contribute to the next phase of Quadrum Capital’s development in my new role.”
