On Tuesday, February 10th, Flevum invites you to an exclusive Vision Dinner for senior executives of medium-sized enterprises, featuring Paul Scholten, CEO of Buckaroo. Join a select group of leaders for an evening filled with inspiration, exchange, and gastronomic delight.

Paul will share Buckaroo’s impressive growth journey, from an SME organization with 60 employees to one of the top three payment providers in the Netherlands. He will discuss the company’s development through organic growth, the challenges surrounding acquisitions and integration, and the key lessons learned along the way.

Buckaroo was founded 20 years ago and was strengthened by a private equity partner in 2018. Since then, the company has grown to over 200 employees and has seen a sevenfold increase in revenue, driven by a clear buy-and-build strategy and an entrepreneurial mindset.
