Thees Peereboom

A long history in dealmaking, joint-ventures and second opinions in media & tech.

Thees Peereboom provides M&A advisory services to CEOs and owners of media and technology organizations in the Netherlands and Europe. With 30+ years of experience at the intersection of media and technology, he offers expertise for complex transactions and critical decisions under pressure.

Reactive M&A Expertise

While many M&A advisers focus on proactive sell-side mandates, Thees specializes in reactive M&A advisory - helping companies that receive unexpected acquisition approaches. Whether it's a competitor, strategic buyer, or private equity firm testing the waters, these situations require immediate expert guidance.

Unexpected approaches create unique challenges: time pressure limits preparation, information asymmetry favors the approaching party, and lack of competitive tension typically results in lower valuations. Thees helps level the playing field with immediate expertise.

30+ Years Experience

After varied management positions in advertising, media and tech, Thees started his independent practice in 1991. He has advised on numerous transactions including magazines, software companies, MSPs, tech startups, agencies, publishers and broadcasters.

His extensive networks in media, technology and private equity enable rapid market intelligence when competitive tension needs creation. Thees aims for the best deal for clients, not always the highest promised price.
