Transformation operator and investor with two decades of experience building, scaling, and exiting businesses across technology,
media, and capital markets. As Founder & CEO of Ponninvest, Wim partners with corporates, sovereign funds, and investors to
deliver measurable transformation—where architecture meets action.
Known for precision in execution and strategic foresight, he has driven growth and exits worth billions in enterprise value. At
Quickplay, Wim built and led the EMEA business from inception, partnering with AWS, Google Cloud to create a $160M+ pipeline in
under two years, doubling profitability targets and engineering a seamless succession plan. At Endemol Shine Group, he delivered
one of Europe’s largest entertainment turnarounds—growing EBITDA from $150M to $235M and co-leading the $2.4B sale to
Banijay.
Ponninvest isn’t a consultancy—it’s a transformation engine. Built on the belief that big change only lasts when architecture, culture,
and execution move as one, Wim works with boards, founders, and investors to turn ambition into outcomes. From reinventing
billion-dollar OTT platforms and sports ecosystems to reshaping how telcos, leagues, and media groups think about growth,
monetization, and data—his approach is hands-on, not hypothetical. The goal is always the same: clarity, momentum, and
measurable impact.More...
