Vincent Paes

I was born in the Netherlands. When I was young, I had to choose between studying Piano or Business. We had a family company at home, and I was meant to be the successor, so I chose to go into business.  Music was and still is, my second love. 

My father died when I was working 6 months in the company, so I became CEO at the age of 25. 
For more than 15 years we extended the company, working in several countries in Europe. 

I got married to my lovely wife Esther and we have 4 children, three boys and a girl. 

After 15 years we sold the company. I went to India for an internal checkup. To learn more about consciousness and the meaning of life. After 4 trips to India, I studied Yoga and became a Yoga teacher. 

I never stopped working but wanted to work in the service of society. Positions in Boards of Control of big social Enteprises. Most of my business was in Africa. Also working with sustainability projects gave me a lot of energy. 

When my friend Bart asked me to join the club, our Dream team, there was no reason to hesitate.  It’s really a pleasure to work with inspiring people on a fantastic project.
