Gijs

Gijs has a background in corporate finance and chose early in his career to focus on the agri-sector. This sector not only plays a role in some of the greatest challenges of our generation, but is also an essential part of the solution to these issues. Since 2015, Gijs has been active as an entrepreneur and founder of Grounded, an initiative that invests in the agri-sector in Africa. 

From 2020, with the transition of the family business to the next generation, Gijs has been involved as a director in the transformation of the real estate company into a fully circular real estate developer and investor, focused on social housing and healthcare real estate.
