👋Meet the people behind Whitewood
June 29, 2026
We are kicking off our Meet the Team series with the person who started it all:
Frederic Van der Planken , Founder & CEO of Whitewood. 🚀
“We don’t just invest in assets. We invest in what they can become.” — Frédéric Van der Planken
Founded in 2008, Whitewood was built on a simple ambition: to create long-term value by transforming the potential of real assets. Today, under Frédéric’s leadership, the company has evolved into a fully integrated investment platform active across real estate, infrastructure, logistics, energy and natural resources, always driven by one mission: to cultivate real impact.
What defines Frédéric most is his entrepreneurial mindset, his ability to turn complexity into opportunity, and his belief that every investment should create value not only for investors, but also for cities, businesses and society. 🌍
