CREATING MY COMPANY WAS A DREAM THAT I WANTED TO REALISE SINCE MANY YEARS FOR MULTIPLE REASONS:
PEOPLE - PASSION - PERFORMANCE
COLLABORATING with others, CREATING innovative solutions and DELIVERING impact in a sustainable way.
Therefore, based on my different CPO roles and senior procurement leadership positions, I wanted to share my experiences with others to positively impact companies and together enhance the procurement perception to a higher level.
Secondly, reinforced during the COVID period, the market has now realised that it is important to master better its supply chain to avoid disruptions down the stream. Procurement and supply chain functions become more and more strategic for companies and I want to be part of that game change!
And lastly, I wanted to become an entrepreneur to share my passion and my enthusiasm with other professionals without any limits.

OUR TEAM
Christophe DE WIT
CO-FOUNDER
“Nothing ventured, nothing gained”.
That is the spirit in which Christophe has always wanted to develop himself. He started quite young as an entrepreneur. At first working in a sales and marketing position for a Dutch IT group. After a few years, at the age of 27, he had the chance to set up the Belgian branch of Dell Computer. A great experience which he could repeat 4 years later at ARINSO. He helped this SAP consultancy company to grow from 10 employees in Belgium to a group of 2,700 employees in almost 25 countries.
After the sale of ARINSO in 2007, he started to learn hands-on what it is like to invest in companies. On the one hand through Private Equity and on the other hand through his own investment fund Pure Value Capital in Luxembourg.
He has also been fortunate to be able to guide a number of young entrepreneurs in their growth through coaching and investments. ELVI Partners is one of them.

IN THE MORE THAN 30 YEARS THAT I HAVE BEEN PROFESSIONALLY ACTIVE, THERE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TWO CONSTANTS FOR ME.
"PEOPLE make the DIFFERENCE" and "Nothing is PERMANENT except CHANGE"
When I got the chance to get to know Dominique and ELVI partners, I felt it immediately. Here is the dynamic and the potential to guide organisations in today’s changing world, and I wanted to be part of this venture.

Today the ESG momentum is there for companies to change and the cost of inaction is significantly higher than the cost of action.
