What we stand for

At Waterland, we seek diverse team members with unique backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We value authenticity, ensuring everyone can bring their true selves to work. Our flat and dynamic structure keeps us agile and proactive, while open communication helps our culture evolve and improve every day. Rather than rigid policies on topics like working from home or career breaks, we rely on dialogue to foster higher engagement. One exception is our extended maternity and paternity leave policy, reflecting our commitment to putting people first. At every level, our team is deeply involved in the investing process, with each project offering opportunities to learn, collaborate, and create innovative solutions.

Our values drive everything we do, whether we’re helping others succeed or welcoming new talent to our team:

ENTREPRENEURIAL

Powered by ambitious thinking, creativity, perseverance and dynamic execution: we think innovatively and ambitiously to drive sustainable growth for our portfolio companies.

COLLABORATIVE

Working together for maximum impact: collaboration is key to building resilient companies. We work hand in hand, embrace diverse thinking and combine different skillsets to achieve the best results with our partners.

RESPONSIBLE

Committed to promoting responsible investments: focusing on the quality of services and/or products offered by our portfolio companies while diligently assessing and mitigating risks.

PASSIONATE

Driven by our passion to create lasting success: we approach every aspect of our buy-and-build strategies with dedication to achieve the best results.

CONSIDERED

A thoughtful and measured approach that leads to well-informed decisions: we scrutinize our actions and conduct thorough due diligence to ensure well-informed investment decisions.

Every day, I’m energized by the opportunity to work alongside entrepreneurs in a dynamic, high-achieving team that thrives on innovation and embodies a bold entrepreneurial spirit. It’s inspiring to be part of a culture that pushes boundaries, embraces new ideas, and empowers each of us to make a real impact.
