Our People

We make a sustainable contribution to the world and the people around us.

As a boutique business, we are able to put people first. It starts with the people who work with us. Our scale ensures that everyone within the firm knows each other, creating strong bonds and ensuring optimum cooperation between our employees. All this enables us to guarantee the best service to our clients. From our offices around the world, we provide high level services with a personal approach as if we are just around the corner.

We realize that we work in an industry where money and profit play an important role. Corpag facilitates this for our customers, and we do that well. For us, however, making as much profit as possible is not our primary goal. We consider ourselves successful when we make a sustainable contribution to the world and the people around us. We want to have an impact on the world in which we work. This is not an empty marketing slogan, but a firm promise reflected in our House of Human Capital.

We do not just invest in the people around us, but without question we also invest in ourselves. Below is a small selection of the dedicated people that work with Corpag all around the world.

“In less than a year working at Corpag I learned a lot from everyone.”

“I have been working with Corpag for over three years and there is always something to learn.”

“Working with Corpag has taught me that together you do better.”

“In addition, I see Corpag as a human company in a world that is normally quite cold and only profit-driven.”

“At Corpag, we work closely with all kinds of colleagues from all over the world.”

LEONARDO

Brazilian - Working with Corpag since 2018 - Study: Law

Chose a career in law, but never saw himself as an attorney. Leonardo heard about Corpag and found this job in Brazil. A job he was unconsciously always looking for, but never knew it existed.

“The great thing about my work is the synergy between my studies and the challenges that I now solve my daily work. Without the former education I wouldn’t know the requirements of the system. But without my current work experience, the academic education would not have been complete. In addition, I also get the opportunity to build long-term relationships with my customers. No other service provider in Brazil does that.”

“At Corpag, we work closely with all kinds of colleagues from all over the world. I think it's great to see how we turn all those cultural differences into an advantage for the company. I am now at the point where I consider some colleagues more as friends and family than as colleagues. How beautiful is that?”

TOMÁS

Spanish - Working with Corpag since 2018 – Study: B.A. International Business Management; Business Administration

Is happy to work for Corpag in his home country, after living abroad for over 6 years. Tomás established the Madrid office in 2020 and helps clients and intermediaries to set up their corporate structures in Spain and abroad.

“I’ve heard about Corpag through a friend of mine who worked here already. We were also colleagues in Chile from another trust company. I got curious because of the nice words he always said about the working environment and the business culture. I can now use those words as my own. The horizontal hierarchy and focus on learning and personal growth are really distinctive. I can tell from experience.”

“Being a small boutique company allows us to focus on the core of our business: to excel on service standards. We gather knowledge from all over the world. We then bring this to our clients with the human touch and a long-term view. In this way, we help our clients from point zero all the way along.”

“We really put our clients first. For them there is always a single point of contact.”

SALIH

Turkish - Working with Corpag since 2016 - Study: Economics, LLM

Used to have clients with Corpag before he joined the company in 2016. Salih's previous experience with Corpag made it easier for him to accept the proposal when he received a job offer. He loves the multicultural environment with inspirational colleagues.

“My job is to act as a bridge between our clients and their needs. In todays fast changing world we make sure that we enhance our abilities to fulfill all our clients’ needs. Even if it’s out of scope. Does the client need a financial advisor or a real estate agent? We find him one and work with them. Such tailor made service is the benefit of working with a boutique service provider like Corpag.”

“We really put our clients first. For them there is always a single point of contact. So they don’t have to chase all different persons like accountants, lawyers or account managers. Which is usually a big burden for a client, but not with us.”

CAROLINA

Brazilian - Working at Corpag since 2018 - Study: Law

Discovered that Corpag was planning to open an office in the British Virgin Islands. Carolina had some talks with the management before taking the opportunity to become Managing Director in the Caribbean islands.

“Compared to our competitors, it’s remarkable how much time and energy Corpag invests in its people. This is reflected in the personal relationship with our customers, so that we can offer the best tailor made solutions for their business.”

“The company has taught me a lot in the 1.5 years that I have been working here. I have learned (and continue to learn) to be a better professional, team player and a better friend. It is very rewarding to work with colleagues that became friends.”

Loves to see the company and its people developing every day, while everyone remains themselves. Audrey joined Corpag in 2009 to set up the Amsterdam office.

“The benefits of working for a small boutique service provider are great. One of them is being able to be part of the whole process instead of just seeing a part of it. Moreover, I enjoy working with a great team with many cultural differences to learn from every day.”

“What I’ve really learned at the Amsterdam Office, is how to balance work and private live.”

BEATRIZ

Brazilian - Working at Corpag since 2018 - Study: Executive MBA

Started at Corpag doing a secondment to deepen her knowledge on Trusts. Beatriz now accepted the opportunity to build a new department within the company.

“It’s very exciting to develop a new department. The trust and flexibility I have received to develop this project feels very special to me. The proximity I have with the owners of the company to discuss and implement new concepts, makes me very happy in my daily work. I see that my ideas are really taken into account.”

“What I’ve really learned at the Amsterdam Office, is how to balance work and private live. Before I’ve worked in New York, an environment where this balance obviously sometimes gets lost. This lesson, that might seem natural for most, is definitely valuable for me. Now I’ve made more room for myself, which makes me feel more focused and energetic at work.”

ANNEMARIE

Dutch - Working at Corpag since 2017 - Study: Certified Accountant

Got in touch with Corpag through a trade association. Annemarie is now - as Managing Director - responsible for Dutch customers and all employees at the Amsterdam office.

“While working for the trust industry for many years, I got to know the people behind Corpag I was really inspired by their professional and personal approach to customers. At the same time, I saw an internal organization that appealed to me a lot. What I like most about my work is the fact that we deal with so many different customers and nationalities. Never a dull moment!

I am proud to see that Corpag is not only focused on being a profitable company. We realize how important it is to take care of the world around us. In addition to applying the Environmental, Social and Governance policy to our customers, we have set up various programs to give the opportunity to students to follow a good education.

HENNY

Dutch - Working with Corpag since 2015 - Study: Bachelor of Accounting and Finance

After moving from Curacao to the United States in 2015, Henny was eager to take the opportunity to work at the Corpag office in Miami and would later become Director of Finance.

“Through my work as an international tax advisor in Curacao, I became familiar with Corpag as not only a reputable company but as a boutique firm. This company prides itself on providing a personal approach, which ensures that every client feels truly appreciated and receives all the focus and attention they deserve. What attracted me to Corpag as an employer.

Working for Corpag gave me the valuable opportunity to gain extensive knowledge and understanding of the US tax system. On a personal level, my work put me in the fortunate position to build a network of great professionals in the area. Corpag provides the opportunity to develop yourself. From Relationship Manger I grew in the past 6 years to Director and later more specifically the Director of Finance for the US market.”

“It gives a lot of satisfaction to see that a mid-size firm can have a positive impact on the education and personal development of other people.”

EWOUT

Dutch - Working with Corpag since 2006 - LLM, MBA

Stepped away on purpose from the typical legal, advisory or consultancy career path. Ewout started in Curaçao before becoming Group Managing Director in Amsterdam.

“During my MBA I first heard about Corpag, when meeting an employee of the company who was doing an executive MBA at the same university. The personal approach and the international clientele triggered me to work for Corpag. On top of that, the idea to live and work for a number of years in the Caribbean, didn’t sound like a bad one. Now, more than a decade later, I’m happy to put all my energy in protecting our mission whilst putting Corpag’s money where our mouth is: Investing in the growth of people within ánd around the company.

In the last years I’ve learned how to deal with different cultures by working with colleagues from five different continents. In today's role I help my colleagues by encouraging them to take responsibility for their own development. Working in a flat, boutique organization makes it easier to put the people of Corpag - and the people around our business - first.”

“With our international exposure, cultural affinities and personal approach towards the client we aim to facilitate - with a tailor made service - their international needs.”

NORBERTO

Brazilian - Working with Corpag since 2012 - Study: Business Administration, MBA, Law

Was a client of Corpag himself before he decided to join the office in Brazil. Norberto took over the management of the Brazilian office in 2012.

“Until I joined Corpag I’ve always worked for bigger size companies, which I perceived to be better organized / a better place to be. In Miami I became friends with two people from Corpag on STEP meetings and networking events. The big advantage to be part of the Corpag team is simple: no politics. Also, in a flat organisation it’s way easier to get things done and to see the extent of your capabilities and productivity. Over the last years the Brazilian office grew a lot in personal and in volume of business. Together with the team we conveyed our experience and showed we had all it took to be a regarded player in the market.

The Corpag approach is to connect locally with the advisors and clients as well. With a white canvas approach we solve any issue that is presented to us. This is how we can help our clients directly, when a question comes up. With this approach we truly distinguish ourselves from the rest of the market in all countries Corpag is based.”

“Our boutique approach makes that every account manager knows their clients. Therefore we are better able to address their needs with the best possible solution.”

DAVID

Venezuelan - Working with Corpag since 2015 - Study: LLM

Was looking for new challenges in an international environment. David started as Legal Account Manager and took the chance to become Compliance Officer in 2017.

“I was working for a law firm in Venezuela when I got in touch with Corpag, since we were their client. When I heard Corpag was hiring, I applied and was happy to join the team in Curaçao. With the help of the company I definitely grew a lot as a professional in the last years. This due to the internal and external courses in which Corpag encourages to participate. Besides that, the management is always available to discuss work, which is also a great opportunity to develop yourself.

Unique about working with this company is the lack of layers and bureaucracy. Everybody in the team is responsible for their own work in a transparent and visible manner. Which ensures the work is always done and it’s done properly.”

“We are not aiming to be the biggest, but to be the best. We want to be known for our service and excellence in our daily work.”

TOMAS

Chilean - Working with Corpag since 2017 - Study: Law

Established the office in Chile in order to be able to serve clients in the region. Tomas feels comfortable in a company that prefers to be the best instead of being the largest.

“I’ve heard about Corpag through co-workers I’ve met during my previous job. They talked very positive about the company, their policies and the people. Joining Corpag in 2017 was the best decision I could have made. The trust and the responsibilities that the company gave me to develop activities in Latin America, means a lot to me. It helped our office a lot in becoming a known party in this market and giving our clients a service based on excellence.

Besides some hard skills, I’ve learned how to work in a global team where everyone works with the same purpose. No hard internal competition or envy. We just learn from each others experiences and cultures. Like this we don’t only create valuable long-term relationships with our clients, but also with each other.”

From my first day at the office until today I’m happy to dedicate myself to satisfying our clients together with the team. Working with Corpag gives me the chance to not only build a professional, but also a personal bond with the clients. Which results in some clients becoming true friends.

During the last few years, Corpag has become a very important part of my life. Luckily, this is not just a random group of people doing good business. We add a personal touch to everything we do. We strive to be an example firm in many ways, whilst being fully compliant following the latest global regulations.”

CHANEL

Swiss - Working with Corpag since 2013 - Study: Master of Laws

Got introduced to Corpag by a friend who was a client of the Company. Chanel started as an Account Manager in Geneva and has now grown as Client Director in the Amsterdam office.

“Immediately after my first contact with the people of Corpag, I felt comfortable and I directly experienced their unique management style. The genuine attention to people's professional and personal developments was very appealing to me. Still, when I talk to friends about Corpag, they are quite amazed how open and personal this company is.

I have gained an acute understanding and knowledge of today's International Trade Business. Our job is a people's job, which puts us on a day to day basis in front of people with a variety of backgrounds, experiences and cultures. And this is truly enriching and at the same time challenging. We are lucky to work every day in this environment and get to know and work with persons who have many different cultural background.”
