Wim Kok
Founder, InterWim BV
International Banking & Financial Advisory Expert
With over 40 years of experience in the banking sector, specifically in Relationship Banking, General Management, Change Projects, and Trade Product Management, I am an expert in advising and guiding companies through complex, international financial matters.
Career & Entrepreneurship
Since February 1, 2020, I have been the founder and owner of InterWim BV, an independent advisory and consultancy business specializing in connecting people and businesses, both locally and internationally. InterWim focuses on offering innovative financing solutions and ideas for companies in the international trade and logistics sectors, with a focus on commodity-related supply chains. My expertise lies in advising both SMEs and large corporations operating in trade and logistics. I have worked with key trading partners, financial institutions, and investment-grade companies, particularly within the natural resources and commodities sectors.
International Experience
With extensive experience in Amsterdam, London, Frankfurt, Northern Europe, and Asia, I have in-depth knowledge of global trade and the related financing needs. My work has led to the successful execution of numerous high-profile transactions, including structured pre-export financing, syndicated, and bilateral trade finance in various export/import regions worldwide.
Additionally, I have a strong background in building a Commercial Finance (Invoice Factoring) unit in the Netherlands for the SME and large corporate sector. As a specialist in Trade Finance, particularly in the oil, gas, and soft commodities markets, I have successfully managed key account portfolios across Europe and am recognized as a subject matter expert in this field.
Innovation & FinTech
My passion for innovation has led to experience in setting up financial FinTech startups within the logistics supply chain, where I have assisted businesses in implementing digital solutions into their operations.
Additionally, my interest lies in exploring use cases that leverage new technologies such as AI, Machine Learning, Blockchain, and other emerging tech. Specifically, I focus on applying these technologies to the financial and logistics sectors to drive efficiency, enhance transparency, and create innovative solutions for complex industry challenges.
