Can you introduce yourself in a few words?

Lisa

I’m Lisa Petermeijer, originally from a small city near Utrecht. I pursued my studies in Rotterdam, and I now live in Amsterdam.

Tell us about your career and how you joined Argos?

Lisa

I did a Bachelor’s in Business Administration and a Master’s in Finance and Investment at Erasmus University in Rotterdam. Additionally, alongside my studies, I undertook various internship positions (in corporate finance, corporate sales, and private equity) to gain a good understanding of the diverse options available in the business world. The internship in private equity resonated perfectly with me on various levels, which confirmed my desire to pursue this field. I then began working at a small private equity firm focused on investing in software-as-a-service. After gaining two years of experience, I received a LinkedIn message that Argos was seeking reinforcement for their Dutch team, and the decision to join Argos was more than clear for me.

Is this the path you thought you would take when you started your studies?

Lisa

When I was young, I already knew that I wanted to do something related to entrepreneurship, because I come from an entrepreneurial family and was always curious about what my parents did. But what exactly this would be, I wasn’t sure yet. At the beginning of my studies, I didn’t know what private equity was, but when I learned more about it, I was excited. It’s a beautiful combination of not only providing capital, but also developing a strategic vision and a path to value creation by actively working with the entrepreneur to improve operational efficiency, for example, or expand into new markets. In other words – it’s a dream job.

The feeling that guides you the most in your daily life?

Lisa

You can achieve anything you want if you work hard for it.

You interact daily with managers. Is there an entrepreneur you admire in the market?

Lisa

I don’t necessarily have a person that I admire. I admire people in general who can speak with passion about a specific topic, or – in our work – about a company, who are kind to the people around them and who have a certain drive to achieve something. But if I had to choose someone, then it would be Serena Williams. She was one of the greatest tennis players of all time. Despite facing numerous challenges she never gave up on her goals. Alongside her tennis career she has also been an advocate for equality and empowerment, and she has set up her own investment fund through which she supports founders, especially women and people of colour, who are underrepresented in the field. (Film tip: King Richard).

Do you have a place to share with us that reflects you? A place that inspires you and contributes to your balance?

Lisa

As a person I like adventure, action and competition, and I love to combine these things with family or friends. A place that first comes to mind is the ski slopes, where I have gone all my life. I love the beauty of nature, playing sports, enjoying good food, and all this with the Dutch ‘gezelligheid’.

”When I was young, I already knew that I wanted to do something related to entrepreneurship, because I come from an entrepreneurial family “

How do you balance your professional and personal life? (e.g. family, sports, etc.)

Lisa

I love to spend quality time with my partner, family or friends which recharges my batteries for work. I especially like to go out for dinner or cook a tasty meal at home. Next to that, I like to travel and explore new cultures. Or you can find me on the court for a good match of padel or tennis.

In another life, you would be... ?

Lisa

A professional tennis player.
