PROFILE:
Tax Advisor – Alternative Funds | Fund Structuring, Reorganization & M&A Tax | Delivered Globally
With 17 years of specialized US tax experience across the Big 4, I help investment funds in the alternative investment space address complex US tax challenges. I support funds with tax-efficient structuring and reorganizations, ongoing US tax compliance, and US M&A tax advisory for portfolio companies. These services are delivered globally from my base in the United Kingdom.
My unique value lies at the intersection of deep US tax expertise and international capital flows. As a Dutch-trained lawyer with an LL.M. in US Taxation and admission to the New York Bar, I combine rigorous US technical knowledge with practical insight into European institutional investors, particularly Dutch pension funds, cross-border capital allocation, and Iberian M&A activity.
Most recently, I served as a Partner in U.S. Corporate Tax in Canada, focusing on alternative funds and institutional clients. Earlier in my career, I spent more than a decade advising on EU funding structures in the Netherlands and later leading US cross-border tax work in Canada.
I am currently at the final stage of the interview process for a US Tax Partner role and remain actively engaged in supporting alternative investment funds — including private credit, hedge funds, secondaries, venture debt, and digital assets — with their US tax needs. I continue to follow developments in Dutch pension reform and the evolving European capital allocation landscape through a US tax lens.
If you’re a fund manager, GP, or institutional investor navigating US tax structuring, compliance, or M&A matters, I’d welcome the opportunity to connect and explore how I can assist.
