“Sustainable businesses must be purpose-led, backed by the right blend of people, technology, and finance to create true, lasting impact.”

I am Jorien Hendrickx, I am a pragmatic, results-oriented leader who balances regulatory compliance with practical, scalable and sustainable solutions. Skilled at aligning interests and promoting collaboration across diverse teams and stakeholders to achieve shared objectives.

I am looking to support early start up founders in their journey. Based in Singapore and involved with EPIC Angels, a female investor collective, I support startups across Asia Pacific in building sustainable, future-ready businesses. Next to my experience with PwC in Assurance for over 20 years, I have expanded my focus to sustainable business where I apply my financial expertise to validate the economic viability and environmental impact of projects. I assist in developing finance solutions and value cases aligned with Net Zero and SDG goals, ensuring that these initiatives are both financially sustainable and impactful in the long term.

Professional Summary
An experienced Certified Public Auditor with over 20 years at PwC NL, I have progressed from Associate to Director (Salary Partner since 2018). My expertise lies in delivering clear financial reporting and building trust with stakeholders, ensuring transparency, compliance, and financial integrity for both multinational corporations and private companies. Passionate about integrating Finance and IT, I specialize in Digital Trust, IT audits and Trustworthy AI, leading large audit teams and automating processes for efficiency.

I mentor because I believe in the power of sharing knowledge and contributing to systemic change. For sustainable solutions, collaboration between diverse businesses, people, and technology is essential. Startups, in particular, are powerful accelerators in driving sustainability and advancing towards Net Zero goals. Through mentorship, I can help scale these efforts by guiding emerging entrepreneurs and fostering innovative ideas.

Additionally, I mentor to give back to the startup ecosystem that has nurtured countless innovations and to support the next generation of entrepreneurs. Mentorship allows me to discover new investment opportunities, learn about evolving industries, and scout for advisory roles or board positions. It also offers valuable opportunities to expand my network, both for personal growth and to benefit the organization I represent. Ultimately, mentorship is a two-way learning experience that enriches both the mentor and mentee while advancing collective goals toward sustainability and innovation.
