Defim

Executive & Change Management

Since its incorporation in March 2002, Defim - owned and operated by Dennis van Vugt - has carried out various assignments either on an interim management or on a (change) project basis.

 

Connecting people to pursue the delivery of exceptional results and balancing the interests of multiple stakeholders have been key recurring themes in Dennis’ professional career. Having first developed his financial and analytical skills as senior manager within a large international audit firm, Arthur Andersen, he then moved on to work in the telecommunications industry in the late nineties before launching Defim in 2002. Dennis gradually moved from fniancial into more general management and operational roles, while in parallel shifting his focus to the real estate industry.

 

In 2011 he became a member of the European Executive Committee of CBRE Global Investors as CFO and COO for the EMEA region, a position he has held for 5 years. During this period he did not perform any projects for Defim. Subsequently, Dennis restarted his interim management business in 2017 working for Amvest as interim CFO and managing various projects, including the strategic restructuring process which led to the launch of the Amvest Development Fund (ADF).

 

Dennis then joined Amvest as statutory director and CFO in January 2019. As a result, Defim does not currently accept any new engagements.
