Dirk Vriend Bio

Dirk grew up in a family of entrepreneurs and hard workers. Perhaps this foundation led him to explore the world of investments and transactions, as well as complex logistical and operational challenges, during his student days. After getting warmed up at corporate finance boutique First Dutch, Dirk gained experience at KPN in corporate M&A and in the financial domain. Attracted by Mentha's entrepreneurial investment approach in 2016, he has since then enjoyed several successfully executed buy-and-build cases, the team spirit and the unique collaborations with charities.
