That\u2019s the beauty of working at Crossminds\u2014no project is ever the same, and nothing can be done on autopilot. I always give my full attention to the client.”<\/em><\/p>\nAn M&A process is a pivotal moment for an entrepreneur, shaping the future of the business. Lars considers it a privilege to strategize alongside shareholders throughout this crucial process. Since no two companies are alike, Crossminds tailors each sales process to fit the specific needs of the client, which is the added value they deliver.<\/p>\n
Lars graduated with a master’s in finance from Tilburg University in 2017, but his learning journey didn\u2019t stop there. In 2018, he completed the Certified Business Succession Advisor program, and in 2019, he began a post-master’s program in business succession for family-owned businesses. \u201cWe work with many family businesses, helping to ensure a smooth transition to the next generation.”<\/p>\n
Since joining Crossminds, Lars has successfully overseen numerous transactions across sectors, from agri-food companies to businesses in the automotive industry. “It\u2019s fascinating to stand alongside entrepreneurs during negotiations. Sometimes you think you\u2019ve reached an agreement, only to find a twist at the end. It\u2019s incredibly rewarding to secure the best possible outcome.<\/em>”<\/p>\nLars draws energy from completing projects that help entrepreneurs take the next step in their company’s life cycle. In his free time, you’ll find him at the gym, staying fit and active.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3669,"template":"","class_list":["post-3711","team","type-team","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","department-corporate-finance-en","department-directie-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
