The Benelux wing of Corporate Finance International has appointed three new partners, lifting its regional partner team to eight.

Commenting on the promotions, Raoul Duysens, Managing Partner of Corporate Finance International, said that the M&A consultancy prides itself on the fact that all three new partners have been groomed internally. “They all started their careers at Corporate Finance International some time ago and are now giving substance to the expansion of our team.”

The group specialises in mid-market deals, with deal sizes ranging from €20 million to €500 million. The Dutch practice operates from an office in Amsterdam and comprise a team of around 20 partners and consultants. 

Pieter de Vries has been with the consulting firm since 2012 and specialises in Business Services and IT Services. His track record includes sell side and buy side transactions, advising both corporate clients as well as financial sponsors.
