Aquila Capital, the Hamburg-based alternative investment company, has appointed Oldrik Verloop to lead business development in Benelux and Scandinavia.
Verloop, 36, joins Aquila Capital from Switzerland’s oldest bank, Wegelin & Co, where he developed and implemented a market entry strategy for the Benelux and Scandinavian institutional markets. Originally qualified in Dutch civil law, Verloop started his career with leading US telecom company MCI WorldCom, before moving to Cameroon to lead the West African operations of a commodity trading firm. He later returned to the Netherlands to join Shell Gas & Power’s corporate strategy, planning and portfolio department. He holds an MBA from the University of St Gallen.
Roman Rosslenbroich (pictured), founder and CEO of Aquila Capital, says: “I am delighted to welcome Oldrik to the team. I’m confident that his proven expertise and extensive experience in the Benelux and Scandinavian markets will support our international growth strategy as Aquila continues to expand in Europe and beyond.”
