Marcel Boekhoorn
Résumé
Marcel Boekhoorn ('mɑrsɛl 'bukɦoːr(ə)n; born 30 October 1959 in Nijmegen) is a Dutch entrepreneur, investor, philanthropist and owner of investment company Ramphastos Investments. Boekhoorn has a wide array of business interests in the Netherlands and beyond. With an estimated net worth of €1.9 billion (US$2.2 billion), Boekhoorn is one of the wealthiest individuals in the Netherlands.
Marcel Boekhoorn, a CPA by training, started his career as a chartered accountant (Register Accountant - RA) with accounting organisation Deloitte & Touche in 1981. By 1991 he had become the organization's youngest partner to date. In 1994, Boekhoorn founded his investment vehicle Ramphastos Investments and started to invest in unconventional companies that had little traction with other investors (such as small wheelbarrow manufacturers and a spray can producer). The key approach of Boekhoorn's investment strategy is to place emphasis on adding value to the revenue side of the business equation, rather than exclusively focussing on cost reduction. This approach sets Ramphastos Investments apart from many companies in the private equity world.
Within a few years of its establishment, Boekhoorn had substantially grown Ramphastos Investments' portfolio and its invested capital by achieving large returns through several high-profile exits. Boekhoorn's major feat was the €300 million acquisition of Dutch mobile operator Telfort (co-owned by the railways) in 2005 and its subsequent sale nine months later to incumbent telco and Dutch market leader KPN at a valuation of €1.2 billion. Other examples of successful exits include: :nl:Bakker Bart, (Dutch bakery chain, sold to :de:Kamps AG), Cocachoc (sold to Suchard/Kraft Foods), Novaxess (a telecom provider, sold to Easynet Global Services), Motip Dupli (an automotive and DIY spray paint producer, sold to Intermediate Capital Group), Sim Industries (flight simulators, sold to Lockheed Martin), Suitsupply (men's fashion retailer, sold to the majority shareholder) and Delivery Hero (German food-delivery service, divested after IPO).
