Expansion of Expertise and Industry Focus
With this appointment, Hogenhouck m&a adds an experienced partner to its team.

Hans has been involved with Hogenhouck M&A from the very beginning as a member of the Advisory Board.
Focus on staffing and business services
The staffing industry is a rapidly changing sector. The future of work is undergoing a profound transformation driven by accelerating megatrends such as digitization, the use of AI, remote work, workforce diversification, rapidly changing legislation, and the critical importance of continuous retraining and upskilling. These megatrends are transforming the staffing market into a playing field full of opportunities, where recruiting, developing, and retaining employees is a crucial, complex, and costly core activity for companies and service providers.
Hogenhouck M&A focuses on technology-oriented companies and sectors undergoing significant change. In addition to the strong position Hogenhouck already holds in the technology sector, Hans’s arrival will enable the firm to place an even greater focus on the rapidly consolidating staffing market.
