Errol Scholten helps public and private parties to realize investments in essential capital-intensive infrastructure projects, such as digital infrastructure, energy infrastructure, transport & water infrastructure, (air)ports, as well as projects that contribute to the raw materials transition and sustainability goals.
He studied Industrial Engineering and Management at the University of Twente and has been working at EY since 2015. With more than 25 years of experience in the industry, he brings broad experience and perspective from various stakeholders. He draws on his experience at a large construction company and an investment bank. In addition to his work at EY, he is a council member of the Dutch branch of the International Project Finance Association (IPFA).
“These types of projects are often time-intensive and have many stakeholders who all play a role in the route to success. Parties really need each other. That is why I consciously invest in good collaboration and view the issues from the perspective of each stakeholder. From investor, government, financier, entrepreneur to society. I connect these worlds.”
“Finance can be quite abstract, but these projects are actually very tangible. And socially functional. It feels good when after such an intensive process – from business case, financing to realization – there is a working factory, school, or solar park.”
