Wouter Verlinden, a value investor at heart since he first read Joel Greenblatt, started his investment career at Gimv where he contributed to several successes such as VCST and Punch Powertrain. Later, he co-founded Down 2 Earth. After a small step at PMV, where Wouter helped set up the Belgian Growth Fund, he is now joining the Value Square team as fund manager.
Between these full-time assignments, he still found the time to start a developer of solar parks, as well as the Belgian market leader for photo booths for cities and municipalities. Wouter is also a director of Eyesee Technologies, one of the consistent winners in the Belgian Deloitte Growth Top 50.
Wouter lives in Nazareth, and has three very pleasant children and a lovely wife.
