Rob de Koning

As founder, owner and director of King Invest, Rob is proud of the achievements he has made so far. Not only since the incorporation of King Invest but also further back to the beginning of his international career in 1983. Having started as a junior, Rob’s enthusiasm for international corporate services was early on recognized by both clients and the bank where he was employed at that time. During the years that followed, Rob served many clients in financial corporate business in and via the Netherlands. In 1990 he moved from the service industry to a senior position at one the world’s largest retailer firms where he played a major role in international acquisitions and financial (intercompany) transactions. In 2000 he was appointed a leading position in one the largest de-consolidation projects worldwide at that time which was successfully completed in 2002. After this completion Rob returned to the corporate service industry, but now with experience on senior management positions in both the service industry and corporate enterprises. This combination resulted in many successful guidance of transactions and (interim) directorships. In 2011 he started a new chapter to this career by setting up an Outsourcing Business Service department for international volume transactions, but unconventionally combined with highly specialized single transactions, which became an unique selling point. Over all these years Rob directly and indirectly managed, serviced and was responsible for over 6.000 (!) clients and their companies. He stopped counting how many board and shareholders meetings as well as management meetings he attended. In 2014 however he concluded that he wanted to return to the real day-to-day business, but with more flexibility, independent and not limited to one organization. He therefor incorporated King Invest, a name which combines his own name and the “royal” treatment he intends to give his clients every day: the investment of his knowledge and experience in his work. To (potential) clients he often uses an very old phrase being: “It is costly wisdom that is bought by experience”. Rob knows very well what the costs were to gain all his knowledge and experience. But it becomes even more valuable when one knows how to transform this into practical solutions. Interested? Please do not hesitate to contact Rob.
