Kristof Van Beveren

Founder, Operator, Engineer

Kristof Van Beveren is the Managing Partner of Zenith Capital. He is a technically trained founder, operator and acquirer with a track record of building, scaling and leading businesses through growth, operational complexity and M&A-led change in the UK and the US.

He founded Weezy, a UK retail business, and grew it from launch to national scale before its sale to Getir. He later joined Getir to scale its UK business across 115 stores and distribution centres, where his work included launching franchise markets, signing strategic partnerships, strengthening operating standards and improving cash flow and profitability. He then led Getir’s US operations through network expansion and the acquisition and integration of its two largest competitors.

Earlier in his career, he was an Engineering Manager at Procter & Gamble, held leadership roles at software company Showpad during its international expansion, and advised companies at McKinsey on growth, M&A and operational improvement.

That background shapes how Zenith evaluates businesses: with respect for what has been built, and a practical understanding of what it takes to grow.
