Marc Jongerius

バイオグラフィー：Co-founder and managing director of Zoku, proudly B Corp certified and award-winning hospitality brand that facilitates global living and working for independent traveling professionals. Recognised by Forbes as “one of the 25 coolest hotels in the world,” Zoku’s reinvented apartment-hotel concept pioneered a new category for the hotel industry. After opening Zoku Amsterdam in 2016, we opened both Zoku Copenhagen and Zoku Vienna in the midst of the pandemic in 2021 and Zoku Paris is expected to open early 2023. My focus at Zoku is on acquisition, development, strategic partnerships and asset management. More generally, it is my passion to realise the value and growth potential of innovative companies with global ambitions. Previously, I have been active in the private equity sector for more than 10 years, and was a partner at a Netherlands-based buy-out fund. Prior to that, I worked for PwC as an auditor and M&A transaction services consultant, where my clients were mainly international enterprises. In addition to my role at Zoku, I am a member of the advisory board of a large family office and part of the investment committee of a Mezzanine Investment Fund. I also act as a coach to start-ups, helping to determine the best business models and most effective strategies for talented entrepreneurs to pursue. I hold a Master’s degree in Business Economics from Erasmus University in The Netherlands and Université Paul Cézanne Aix-Marseille in France.
