Duration: 53:13
🎙️ In this extra episode of Leaders in Finance, we speak with Danny Vroegop, co-founder and Chief Executive & Investment Officer at Colesco Capital.
Colesco is a private credit specialist with a clear mission: to unite capital and purpose. Danny shares how the idea took shape during his executive MBA and evolved from a Rabobank project into an independent business with investors.
He explains what sets Colesco apart in the private credit market: speed, confidentiality, and a “no-compromise” model where credit quality, sustainability, and return all carry equal weight. Danny also reflects on leading a small and ambitious team, working with entrepreneurs who want to make a positive impact, and what it means to stay disciplined, resilient, and optimistic in a demanding financial world.
