Wouter will join the programme for the session “Macro Outlook: Investment Strategy for Family Capital”, taking place on 8 June 2026, from 9:50 AM to 10:30 AM.

A founding partner of Blauwpark Partners, Wouter brings a distinctive combination of institutional investment discipline and entrepreneurial perspective.

In 2019, Wouter founded Blauwpark Partners as an offshoot of the single-family office he has led since 2011.

Today, he oversees a globally diversified portfolio with approximately 60 percent exposure to private markets, allocating primarily across private equity and other private market strategies.

At WFOFE 2026, Wouter will share his perspectives on navigating macroeconomic uncertainty and positioning family capital for long-term resilience. His session will form part of the forum’s broader programme focused on investment strategy, governance, and capital preservation for family principals and senior decision makers.
