Myleen Verstraete
A genuine catalyst for change in the impact investment ecosystem in Belgium, Myleen is an investor and connector. Coming from a Belgian family specializing in industrial carpets, Myleen developed a passion for making the textile industry more sustainable. Besides being an ambassador for Waste2Wear, a company focused on textile products made from recycled plastic bottles, she has been a private investor for over ten years.
Myleen's portfolio includes investments in circular economy, gender equality, sustainable urban regeneration, regenerative agriculture, and microfinance next to sustainable fashion.
As a PYM board member, she focuses on building bridges and bringing communities together in Belgium and beyond. As a philanthropist, Myleen gives her time, energy, and capital to support various social organizations and educational projects.
