Eight Advisory continues the development of its restructuring and turnaround practice in Benelux  

Boudewijn joins Eight Advisory from a Dutch PE firm, where he served as Investment Director at their Special Investment Fund, focusing on turnarounds, operationally intensive investments, and buy-outs. Prior to this, he held senior roles at a large international financial institution based in the Netherlands, where he led high-profile (inter)national restructurings and capital market transactions. 

With a proven track record in navigating complex turnarounds and delivering value in challenging environments, Boudewijn’s arrival marks an exciting milestone in Eight Advisory’s growth as the firm is continuing to expand its team of top-tier professionals who are dedicated to supporting businesses through critical transitions. 

Philippe Fimmers, Managing Director, Eight Advisory Benelux: 

“With the recruitment of Boudewijn Brouwer, we reaffirm our commitment to building a senior and experienced restructuring team for the Dutch market. While Boudewijn will concentrate on the Netherlands, he will also be integrated into the wider Benelux restructuring team and the broader Eight Advisory group, serving our clients both locally and globally. We believe his extensive experience as a former internal restructuring expert at a large international bank, combined with his background as a distressed investor, will offer our clients a unique perspective from both sides when engaging with their stakeholders. We will continue to invest in our Benelux restructuring team, both financially and operationally, as we remain convinced of the strength of our integrated financial, strategic, and operational approach to every restructuring. 

Boudewijn Wellink, Partner Restructuring & Turnaround: 

“We are delighted to welcome Boudewijn Brouwer as director in our Restructuring & Turnaround Management practice at the Eight Advisory office in Amsterdam. Boudewijn brings a wealth of experience in financial restructuring and special situations investing.  With his proven track record in steering complex situations and delivering value in challenging environments, Boudewijn’s arrival strengthens our team as we continue to support clients through their most critical transitions. We look forward to working closely with Boudewijn as we further build our practice.

Boudewijn Brouwer:

“I am thrilled to join such a dynamic, internationally oriented team. My natural curiosity and strong desire to understand businesses at their core enable me to deliver creative solutions in challenging situations. This mindset aligns well with Eight Advisory’s commitment to achieving the best outcomes for its clients. I look forward to contributing to the firm’s growth and supporting our clients. Additionally, I am eager to reconnect with my network and explore potential future collaborations.
