Equip strenghtens the team with two key hires

Recently, Pieter Bosch, an expert in Sales and Business Development, and Gert Jan Krol, a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), joined the Equip team. With their extensive experience, expertise, and enthusiasm, we are proud to have them onboard.

People are financially worse off today than their parents

"We need to do a better job educating and helping people with their personal finances, especially as major changes to the tax and pension systems are coming. At Equip, we believe that employers have both a key responsibility and a unique opportunity to bridge this gap. Why? Taking good care of your employees is a no-brainer investment. Happy employees perform better and stay with you longer," says Pieter Bosch.

Pieter is a business development expert with years of experience in both startups and scale-ups. "Unfortunately, not all employers share our belief that employees need personal finance support. On top of that, HR teams are already stretched thin due to a tight labor market. That’s why our clients are ahead of the curve. But we see tremendous potential in our services and believe we're only at the beginning," he adds.

A personal approach combined with new technology

With his extensive experience in financial planning, Gert Jan will support employees of our clients in navigating significant life events that impact their finances—such as buying a home, expanding a family, or preparing for retirement. Gert Jan will also actively contribute his knowledge to further develop Equip’s services.

“Equip’s mission is inspiring. Throughout their lives, people accumulate various income and wealth products, often without realizing it. At Equip, we help both young and old make sense of their financial goals and challenges. From a practical budget plan to recalculating pension entitlements, we offer smart solutions that reduce financial stress in the short term and help build a stable future,” says Gert Jan.

Jan Cees van Senden, one of Equip's co-founders, CTO and Director at Equip is leaving Equip. Jan Cees has been an integral part of Equip since its inception, contributing significantly to the company's growth and success. We wish Jan Cees all the best in his future endeavors.
