Friso Kuipers

Friso has worked in the field of M&A for over 25 years. In 1992 he received his MBA degree from Henley and in 2002, became a certified Register Valuator. Friso also qualified as a registered NMI-mediator in 2004. After completing his studies he worked as an account-manager at Rabobank and ABN AMRO before joining the Corporate Finance team at BDO. Early in his career, he worked mainly in Eastern-Europe, where his focus was on private placements, feasibility studies and corporate restructurings.

 

Friso is involved in the entire M&A process, from strategic and financial analysis to valuations and (contract) negotiations. Having closed numerous transactions over the years, Court Rooms and the Dutch Chambers of Commerce often seek Friso’s help as an independent third-party in stock valuations for companies during disputes.

In 2005 he founded a M&A boutique together with Alexander Boissevain: AenF Partners BV. Their passion to partner entrepreneurs in their critical business developments, together with spotting a gap in the market for their high-end advice were the main reasons to start AenF Partners. In 2016 Friso was elected ‘acquisition advisor of the year’. In 2024, he completed the Supervisory Board Cycle on the Nijenrode Business University.

 

Friso is married and has three children. In his spare-time he likes to play padel, golf and tennis.

 

Friso and Alexander have merged AenF Partners with the Benelux office of Translink Corporate Finance in 2024 to pursue their international ambitions.
