Professional experience
Loek joined KPMG Meijburg & Co – part of the international KPMG
network – in September 2010 following 23 years in the employ of a
multinational enterprise active in the global market for fast moving
consumer goods (total sales of EUR 45 billion). There he held various
international positions within the corporate tax department, the last
ten years as a member of the tax leadership team and as head of global
transfer pricing and European tax matters.
In addition to his involvement in a large number of projects in the field
of Dutch and international corporate income tax, Loek also has
extensive experience with large-scale corporate restructuring.
Loek specializes in international taxation, transfer pricing and business
restructuring. He has participated in numerous international projects
in these fields. Where business restructuring is concerned, his activities
usually concern large-scale feasibility studies and the subsequent
design and implementation of the business model, as well as the
interaction with local tax authorities.
Wilbert brings over 25 years of experience working with large global
companies, investors and governments on projects related to
international tax, pan-European advice, cross-border reorganizations,
mergers and acquisitions and strategic tax counseling.
Wilbert is since 2014 the managing partner and Chairman of KPMG
Meijburg & Co in The Netherlands. He previously served as global
leader of KPMG’s International Tax Group and as president of the
Dutch Association of Academic Tax Advisors.
He is a frequent speaker and moderator at international conferences,
delivering insights on topics such as international tax, fiscal policy,
European integration, globalization and economic developments.
Over the last 25 years, he has also published and contributed to articles
and books on business and tax.
In his current position at KPMG Meijburg & Co, Loek supports
multinational enterprises with local and international tax matters.
Loek is co-leading the KPMG Meijburg Corporate Clients Team and
