Welcoming Ward van Vierssen Trip to Sol Advisory

Jan 5, 2026

Incredibly proud and grateful to welcome Ward van Vierssen Trip to the team. Thank you for believing in Sol Advisory and joining us on this journey.

Our ambition is clear: to build the go-to Dutch divestment partner for corporates and financial sponsors, focused on complex carve-outs across sectors and sponsor-led exits in tech, delivered through a high-touch, senior-led advisory model, and built around experienced top-tier talent who care deeply about client outcomes.

Ward brings 12 years of international M&A and corporate finance experience, most recently at GP Bullhound, a premier global technology investment bank. He has advised on numerous high-profile technology transactions and brings deep expertise in software and digital services across the Benelux and internationally. Exactly the calibre we need, and where we set the bar – to deliver real results for clients.

Joining a niche, early-stage boutique may not be obvious to everyone, at least not right away. But Ward is making a real investment, and he has our full commitment in return to make this a highly successful, rewarding, and career-defining move.

Sol Advisory will keep growing this year, selectively. If you are a VP-level M&A banker with experience in the tech/software space and/or complex carve-outs, and you are up for a bold move, have an entrepreneurial mindset, and are attracted to real ownership and upside, we would love to hear from you.
