Approach
I founded Drus Partners to acquire and lead an established business to which I will fully dedicate myself. My commitment is long term, with no predetermined exit timeline.
I believe that much of an SME’s strength lies in its history, culture and people. My ambition is to preserve what makes the business distinctive while continuing to develop it with discipline, pragmatism and patience.
Every transition is different. The handover will be tailored to the seller’s expectations and the needs of the business, whether this means a swift departure, a gradual transition or retaining an active role.
Experienced private investors and family offices invest alongside me with a long-term perspective. All discussions are treated in strict confidence, and decisions are made directly and promptly.
Henry de Boysson
I began my career at HSBC in corporate finance and M&A before founding and growing several businesses in insurance and insurtech. Along the way, I led teams and took on commercial, financial and operational responsibilities.
In recent years, I have also worked on several small-cap acquisitions from the buyer’s side, from initial analysis through to execution. This combination of entrepreneurial and transaction experience gives me a practical understanding of the business itself, the transaction process and the seller’s expectations.
I hold a Master’s degree in Mathematics and Economics from the University of Edinburgh and an MBA from INSEAD.
I live in Brussels with my wife and our two children. Outside work, I spend as much time as possible outdoors, between the mountains and the sea, mountaineering, ski touring, sailing and fishing.
