Inga Verbeeck “When nothing is sure, everything is possible.” Margaret Drabble Discover Inga Verbeeck Menu Biography Portfolio Inga Verbeeck Milestones Press Say hello Biography Inga Verbeeck Entrepreneur & Matchmaker Inga Verbeeck Entrepreneur & Matchmaker Biography Inga Verbeeck has built a successful career as an active entrepreneur and business consultant across a wide range of industries in Europe. Over the past fifteen years Inga has been given the opportunity to build a global network of renowned entrepreneurs, creative minds and artists alike. With a financial education as a backbone she brings with her a arduous track record in strong commercial growth, coupled with a passion for results for her clients and a warmth of character that makes her perfectly suited to the elite matchmaking industry. Inga currently runs her own business consulting firm as well as her own global matchmaking services company. Before venturing into the world of matchmaking – both on a business level as on a personal level – Inga found herself at the helm of a leading international steel trading company. There she developed through the ranks and became CEO at the age of only 29. It was in the steel industry that Inga developed the extensive financial, human resources and business skills that allowed her to subsequently establish Arvitae, a successful business consulting service based in Belgium. Inga’s commercial acumen together with a charismatic and fervent personality, have helped her to establish a formidable reputation as a young and dynamic entrepreneur, with a wide global network of contacts at the highest level of global business and across a wide variety of industries, from the entertainment world to the pharmaceutical industry. After competing internationally at an early age in figure ice-skating, Inga developed her early career as a yachting journalist and photographer, allowing her to report from around the world and fuelling her passion for travel. An avid skier, diver and adventurer, Inga has a 9-year old son Ryan at the center of her existence as well as a love for animals and the outdoors to balance a fast-paced life and profession.

View project Milestones 1978 Born a Saggitarius I appreciate an outspoken personality and respect individuality. I believe it is okay to be, to act and present yourself as you really are and feel. More importantly, such it is with all things in life. “Age quod agis.” ; or as E.E. Cummings said it : “It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.” 1984 Ice Skating During childhood sports were a driving factor. At the age of 6 I fell in love with figure skating, a passion that lead me to training and competing intensely for the next decade. 1992 Enthusiastic From early on I took on the role of an entrepreneur. From being the president of the student council to organising events and competing in the national Young Entrepreneur competition, I always initiated to be leading, active and learning. 1996 Adventure I have a weakness for adventure, have an urge to travel frequently and I love to ski. Very few moments in life can compete with standing on a mountain top and taking a deep breath before gliding down that magical, crisp and snowy hill side. 1997 World Travels While on holiday in South-Africa as an eighteen-year old exploring the quays of beautiful Cape Town lead me into a great adventure. I set out to travel the globe with contracts for coverage of the Whitbread Round the World (Yachting) Race. Experiencing different cultures and learning the ways of the world, I travelled for over a year as a freelance journalist before returning home to Antwerp. Writing and photographing has remained a part of my life and work ever since. 1998 Steel Business At the age of nineteen I commenced my work at the family business. My parents had founded their steel company in 1966 which was a unique learning and opportunity platform for which I will always be grateful. Whilst studying in evening school I learnt the tricks of the trade and developed an extensive understanding of business in the fast-paced and international environment where the family company was active. 2005 Ryan I am proud to be a woman and honoured to be a mother – and without a doubt my son is the one thing that supersedes all. Now an avid golf player with big dreams at the age of 10 – he is my little hero. 2010 New Era Over a thirteen-year span at the family business I evolved from administration and logistics to finance, on to business development and project management to become the CFO in 2002. In 2008 the board appointed me as CEO to sail the company through its most difficult of years which resulted in a restructuring deal with a large US private investment firm. I have had the opportunity through the years to work with – and learn from - a great amount of top experts in a variety of fields, as well as build an extensive international business network. 2012 Matchmaking During my career I have found one of my greatest gratifications to be to inspire others. Through being a corporate consultant and matchmaker I now set out to use my knowledge, expertise and experience – good and certainly bad - to the benefit of other professionals. With a holistic philosophy I strive to add value to the lives of my clients. “When nothing is sure, everything is possible.” Margaret Drabble Press Búho Mag March 14th, 2016 Ivy Internacional, ¡los millonarios buscan novi@! Tanta fortuna y les falta lo más importante, el amor. Queridos millonarios, “decidnos de qué presumís y os diremos de qué padeceis”. Y es que si hay algo nítido en esta vida, es que el dinero no da la felicidad y a los hechos nos remitimos (aunque ayude, como dice vuestra madre). Podrán tener todo el lujo que quieran, permitirse todo lo que se les antoje pero, ¿para qué todo eso cuando no tienen a nadie con quién compartirlo?

Onlangs startte ze haar eigen matchmakerbureau. - Tekst door Lydia Van Der Weide Continue reading 24 heures February 14th, 2016 "Aujourd'hui, les gens ne savent plus se faire la cour" Avec son gros pull mode flanqué d’une étoile et son eye-liner rock qui lui donne des airs de Selah Sue – «vous êtes douée, tout le monde ne perçoit pas cette facette de ma personnalité!» –, Inga Verbeeck, 36 ans, tranche avec le look tailleur strict de la businesswoman qui enchaîne ses rendez-vous d’affaires dans les palaces. Caméléon, elle aime aussi la jouer girlie en robe à fleurs, mais sous ses atours elle ne fait jamais semblant d’être quelqu’un d’autre. Continue reading Conseil-Psy February 2016 IVY INTERNATIONAL // AGENCE DE MATCHMAKING DE LUXE C'est un leurre de penser que les personnes les plus fortunées sont dénuées de ce besoin d'amour inhérent à l'être humain. Et la fameuse phrase que chantait Véronique Sanson, « je n'ai besoin de personne » concerne de moins en moins de gens. Pour preuve, le pourcentage de personnes qui se connectent à internet chaque mois (91 millions dans le monde) pour trouver l'âme soeur ou le coup du soir, révèle un grand vide affectif. Contrairement aux idées reçues, nul n'est épargné. Et les « riches » sont les plus touchés. Bizarre ? Pas tant que ça. Le manque de temps à cause d'un emploi du temps surchargé et les voyages à répétition, ne favorisent pas les rencontres. Comme tout un chacun, ils sont désireux de partager des moments à deux. Car comme le souligne, Inga Verbeeck, CEO de l'agence de matchmaking de luxe, Ivy International, le tango se danse avec un ou une partenaire. Continue reading Die Welt February 9th, 2016 Wenn Millionäre den Jackpot in der Liebe suchen Sie verspricht einsamen VIPs ein Happy End.

Si queréis saber quién es Inga y qué es eso del matchmaking, ya sabéis, no os queda otra que seguir leyendo. Continue reading The Luxonomist February 8th, 2016 “Las celebs pagan hasta 50.000 euros para que les busque pareja” Podríamos pensar que los multimillonarios, celebrities o los futbolistas lo tienen muy fácil para ligar. Seguramente en muchos casos así sea, pero lo cierto es que estas personas llevan un ritmo de vida tan acelerado que les cuesta (aún más que a cualquier mortal) encontrar una pareja que se adapte a su (lujosa y muchas veces estresante) situación personal. Por eso, Inga Verbeek (con apenas 30 años) decidió fundar Ivy International hace un año, una agencia de match making en la que busca novio/novia a cualquiera con un poder adquisitivo, digamos alto, ya quela cuota de inscripción empieza en los 15.000 y puede llegar a los 50.000 euros. Ahora aterrizan en España y en The Luxonomist la hemos entrevistado.

Me he dado de alta en todas las páginas de contactos que me permiten tener un perfil sin foto, para proteger mi intimidad, of course. Para compensarlo, siempre incluyo una descripción muy provocadora e irónica, con la esperanza de que alguien pille mi humor.
