Franck Hoppenbrouwers

Senior Consultant

Franck 2 (1X1)

Franck Hoppenbrouwers grew up in an entrepreneurial family. He studied Business Economics/Financial Economic Management at Tilburg University and successfully completed a postgraduate programme to become a Chartered Controller at Erasmus University Rotterdam/Rotterdam School of Management.

Franck previously worked for Kruger from 1996 to 2000. After Kruger, he held various controlling and senior financial positions at ASR and Robeco. From 2012 to 2022, he worked for NEOS Direct Lending in the role of senior debt investment manager. In this position, he made an important contribution to putting non-bank financing for small and medium-sized enterprises in the Netherlands on the map. During this period, he saw more than a hundred companies in many different industries. By utilising his current and extensive network in the Dutch and international financing market, he worked with entrepreneurs to develop tailor-made financing solutions. Each and every one of these financing solutions helped the company to achieve its objectives.

"At Kruger, my knowledge and experience in the areas of restructuring, valuation issues, improving returns, buying and selling companies, business controlling and challenging financing issues come together in a wonderful way. Listening to the entrepreneur's story; thorough analysis, benchmarking where necessary, and always with an eye for the position of customers, suppliers, employees, financiers and other stakeholders, in order to ultimately arrive at a workable solution for the company together with the entrepreneur. That is the strength of Kruger and that is my strength."
