Wai Ki Chiu

Wai was born in Hong Kong and moved to the Netherlands at a young age. He grew up in the Achterhoek region and studied Economics in Rotterdam. After graduating he gained experience in Leveraged Finance, including at ING Bank.

In 2008 Wai founded Committed Capital, and in 2014 he completed an investors buy-out. That experience helped shape his view of entrepreneurship and partnership. For Wai, the human factor is what determines success. He therefore focuses on creating the right conditions, so that entrepreneurs and management teams can perform at their best and realise their ambitions.

Wai lives in Zeist and is the father of a son and a daughter. In his free time he likes to be on the padel court or out on his road bike.

Working with us is a partnership: we are in the same boat and do everything we can to take the business to the next level, in good times and in bad. You can expect me to be honest and straightforward. A company reflects the DNA of its entrepreneur, so the click has to be there, both personally and as entrepreneurs. Only then do we set out together on a journey of five years or more. The best moment is when you hit the green wave: the investments in the organisation start to pay off, good people want to work for you and customers call you of their own accord. It looks as if everything happens by itself, but it is the result of years of effort, choices and investment.
