Gimv welcomes Bart Troubleyn to lead Gimv Anchor

Following the recent official launch of Gimv Anchor, a collaboration between Gimv and WorxInvest to support Gimv's growth ambitions, Gimv is pleased to announce the arrival of Bart Troubleyn as Head of Gimv Anchor. In that capacity, Bart will also become a member of Gimv's Executive Committee.

Based on Gimv’s expertise and experience of building leading companies, Gimv Anchor wishes to embark on a long-term pathway for growth together with companies  that have a promising compounding growth potential. 

Last February, Gimv announced the incorporation of Gimv Anchor Investments through which Gimv and WorxInvest are joining forces around this long-term investment approach, as well as Cegeka as Gimv Anchor's first investment. 

Gimv is therefore pleased to announce that the Board of Directors has appointed Mr. Bart Troubleyn to head Gimv Anchor. As a Managing Partner, Bart will also become a member of Gimv's Executive Committee. Bart will take on the role of Head of Anchor as of mid-April, working closely with all Managing Partners and teams of the Gimv platforms in terms of both deal sourcing and in further strengthening the active value creation across platforms. 

Bart has a solid track record as CEO, COO, and business consultant working for and with both large global corporations and entrepreneurial family-owned businesses, including Sea Invest, Manuchar and Roland Berger. Bart gained extensive international experience across different continents. 

Filip Dierckx, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Koen Dejonckheere, CEO, jointly declare: “We are delighted to welcome Bart to lead Gimv Anchor. With a proven track record in general management, strategy, M&A, corporate restructuring and IT/digital transformation, Bart brings a wealth of experience to Gimv. We wish him lots of success and look forward to working together to further develop Gimv Anchor as a long-term growth driver for Gimv.”

Bart Troubleyn, Head of Gimv Anchor, adds: “It is an honor to take on the role of Head of Gimv Anchor and contribute to Gimv's ambitious plans to accelerate growth and create value by building leading companies. I look forward to working with the Gimv Team in realizing the mission of Gimv Anchor: supporting companies with a promising long-term growth potential by providing them with capital, knowledge and

experience to boost that further growth.”
