Roger Coenen

Roger Coenen (born 1966) is a Dutch finance professional with 25+ years of experience across investment advisory, private banking, asset management, financial regulation, and family-office management. He holds an M.Sc. in Business Economics (specialization in Finance) from Tilburg University (1990–1993) and earned the Certified Financial Analyst (CFA) designation through IBO / Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (1996–2001), later adding the CFA Institute's Claritas/Investment Foundations certificate. He is based in the Amsterdam area of the Netherlands.

His early career was in banking and investments: he managed the investment department at ING Bank in Tilburg (1996–1997), was an investment specialist at Robeco Group (1997–1998), and worked as a senior private banker at CenE Bankiers in Utrecht (1998–2000) and Schretlen & Co in Maastricht (2000–2002). In 2002 he founded and ran Coenen Family Office, an independent multi-family office serving top athletes, entrepreneurs, and high-net-worth individuals with wealth, risk, and treasury management, operating it through roughly 2011.

Since 2012 he has run RC Consultancy Advisory & Training (self-employed), positioning himself as a financial-regulation and compliance specialist and international conference speaker. His project work spans MiFID II, EMIR, AIFMD, Dodd-Frank, GDPR, SFTR, CSDR, MAD/MAR, central clearing and margin requirements, Brexit, and (more recently) EU SFDR and Taxonomy implementation for Dutch asset managers. He has also been an associate professor in Finance at Tilburg University and managing director of Mylette Academy (2007–2012), and mentors participants in the CFA Institute's Investment Foundations program.

Because the Coenen Family Office brand and its coenenfamilyoffice.nl domain still appear in investor/LP databases, the office is cataloged by startup-funding aggregators as an angel / seed-stage family-office investor; however, no verified, named startup portfolio could be confirmed from primary sources.

• Operates as a multi-family office originally built to serve entrepreneurs, high-net-worth individuals, and professional athletes with wealth management, risk management, and treasury services.
• Listed in startup-investor databases (e.g., Foundersuite, PitchBook) under a seed-stage / angel / family-office profile, indicating openness to early-stage private investments.
• Investment lens is shaped by Coenen's own deep expertise in investment management, financial markets, risk, and regulation — suggesting a preference for well-governed, compliance-aware opportunities.
• No publicly stated check size, thesis quote, or sector mandate could be verified; treat the "seed round" classification as database-derived rather than a published thesis.
