JASPER SCHRIJVER

Jasper’s energy comes from an instinctive drive to improve performance and repair something that is broken. Solves strategic challenges in a pragmatic way. He is quick to oversee the playing field, to identify key issues and players, and to act accordingly. He sets the agenda and gets to the point – without the chitchat, but with a human touch. Used to managing multinational operations.

Before founding Brave Capital Solutions, Jasper held various managerial positions at ABN AMRO Bank, including CEO of IFN Group, Deputy Head for the Dutch corporate market, CEO Retail NL and member of the executive committee NL. After leaving ABN AMRO Bank in 2009, he moved into the restructuring market and has since been involved in some 25 turnarounds, predominantly acting as CEO/Managing Director holding end-responsibility. Jasper also acts (mostly at the request of private equity firms and banks) as advisor to the board in complex restructurings. In recent years, his activities have taken place in Europe (mainly in the Dutch and Belgian markets), China, the United States and South America in multiple sectors. Jasper has a master's degree in business economics from the Vrije Universiteit (Amsterdam, 1986).
