Europe and the United States of America.
Our vision
People make the difference. Especially
in health care. We believe that investing
in a business means investing in the people and the
teams that drive it.
People often tell me: “Dennendonck doesn’t come across as a typical private equity firm.” If asked why, I’m told that “Dennendonck seems to care more about the people” that run the business and also more about the actual businesses. As a founder of Dennendonck Investments, I recognize that. Being a family office, we care about the people we invest in.
Our culture
We take a no-nonsense approach when it comes to the business. We strongly believe in open dialogue and accountability.
Any business has its opportunities and challenges. That’s the nice
part of being in business, especially in healthcare. From a business
point of view, we like to face the facts as they are. We then discuss
with managers the best strategy to move forward with. It’s great that we can trust healthcare expertise and networks.
Our background
Dennendonck Investments was founded in
2015. The two founders, Marc van
Gelder and Roderick Wijsmuller, bumped into
each other by coincidence during a nature walk,
despite having worked together
previously as CEO and financial controller at the
publicly listed Mediq N.V. They saw each other
walking on the “Hilversumse Heide”, the
nature reserve in Hilversum that
connects their back yards. Inspired by the “dennen-
trees” and the sand dunes (“doncks”) around
them, they discussed starting a private
investment office for the health care sector.
They shook hands and founded
Dennendonck Investments on the 7th
of December 2015.
