Ewout Wegman

“I believe not only that pleasure and success go hand in hand, but also that both can be created. That doesn’t mean it happens by itself, though. Sometimes it needs a boost from others. At 5square, we contribute to this. Investing in growth and transformation is a dynamic process in which everyone also learns their lessons. Every day, I learn that the individual qualities of the people we work with can only develop to their full potential if the members of the team are congruent and complement each other. Together, you really can go further.

The often long-term relationship with our investors stems from the intensive bond we have built up with the various entrepreneurs we have worked with. Our extensive network and the knowledge we have gained over the years combine to form a wealth of experience. We put this to broad use, allowing us to optimally help our shareholdings to achieve their ambitions.

Alongside my 5square activities, I also consider it important to contribute at other levels of society. If everyone spent just a little time on activities in which the main goal was not to get something back, the world would naturally become a bit nicer and better. Above all, I am a very positive person by nature.”
