Chief Executive Officer

Sergio Torres: the man who, in half a year, linked financiers and entrepreneurs for an amount of more than 30 million through the accounting packages. His weapon? A phone. Everyone knows Sergio in the office building Nest in Amstelveen. The positivist pur sang can think better when he walks. Combined with the intention to take 10,000 steps, you will encounter Sergio everywhere and nowhere in the building. Always a friendly nod and then pointing at his phone. In conversation, yes. It helps him at the end of the day to meditate and dance to clear his head.

Actually a barrel full of contradictions: Bastiaan Burgwal. Co-founder of LoanStreet. This hobby programmer has a finance degree from the UvA, but looks more like a singer songwriter than the owner of a complicated app that helps entrepreneurs get a loan faster and easier. A hard worker with a mission. His biggest task? Together with Sergio, to process all wild ideas about business finance into a simple product. He gets a lot of satisfaction from helping others. That is something that is now reflected in the LoanStreet product.
