Hi, I'm Véronique Schyns.

    I am an experienced Investor Relations & Communications Strategist, helping entrepreneurs, private equity and M&A advisors to sell or integrate companies. Most companies are sold undervalued because their commercial story, positioning and brand value are not sharp, and after acquisition, value often disappears immediately due to poor communication and integration.

    I develop and implement a strategic equity story and commercial positioning before, during and after a transaction, expansion or change. So that companies achieve a higher valuation, are more attractive to buyers, investors and other stakeholders and retain value during integration. Based on a track record in strategy, marketing and complex transitions.

    I like to think along with you well in advance, when you start preparing for this.

    (I speak Dutch, English and Spanish fluently).
