Louis Vanheurck de Tornaco

I am an operator and advisor who brings private equity rigor and founder empathy. As COO at DUPS, I help Belgian entrepreneurs and investors navigate fundraising, acquisitions, and exits with a blend of legal and financial expertise under one roof, moving fast and staying accountable.

I translate strategy into execution, pressure‑test decisions, and make sure incentives and reporting drive outcomes rather than activity.

I am most valuable to venture‑backed scaleups and founder‑led SMEs preparing for a raise, a strategic acquisition, or a sale, especially in tech and consumer. My background spans Bain’s private equity practice, chief of staff in a fast‑growing ecommerce company, and teaching entrepreneurial finance at Solvay, so I am comfortable challenging assumptions and building systems that scale.
