Fons is Executive Managing Director at Edge. With extensive transaction-based experience ranging from the underwriting, acquisition, funding, structuring and leasing to sales of developments, refurbishments, standing assets and portfolios - he has a deep understanding of value creation in commercial real estate.

In 2011, after studying at Sciences Po in Paris and obtaining both an LL.M. at the University of Leiden and a MSc. in Business Studies from the University of Amsterdam, Fons joined the largest real estate advisory firm in the Netherlands, where he learnt the fundaments of commercial real estate. In 2013, Fons joined Edge to work as an analyst, with a primary focus on assisting new acquisitions and the structuring of both joint ventures and individual transactions. Following an appointment as Commercial Manager and completion of a post-graduate Msc. in Real Estate in Amsterdam, Fons became responsible for the front-end of both acquisitions and divestments. In 2019, Fons was promoted to Executive Managing Director for the UK market after securing Edge’s first project in London: EDGE London Bridge. Since then, he has grown the team to more than ten people and the London projects’ pipeline to more than 1,000,000 square feet.

After a Geography Master’s graduate at Groningen University and a Business Economics Master’s graduate at the University of Amsterdam, Boudewijn began his professional career at Amvest and Unibail-Rodamco, where he honed his Asset and Development Management skills on high street shops and shopping centers.

In 2008, Boudewijn joined EDGE as Commercial Manager. His knack for recognizing upcoming talent and building high-performance teams allowed Boudewijn to rise to the role of Head of Investment in 2015. He was then swiftly promoted to Executive Commercial Director for Western Europe in 2016.
In his current role as COO, Boudewijn is passionate about working alongside the teams he mentors, unlocking new projects and creating stand-out buildings in cities world-wide. A year-round cyclist, Boudewijn stays in peak condition by honoring the elements; taking to the ice during winter and practicing his serve on the tennis court in summer. Boudewijn is happiest when both the projects and the people he leads achieve their goals.
