Gino Jacobs

Gino co-founded Profound’s offshoot agency Skempi with Boudino and has been a Managing Director at Profound since 2016. He has been a key factor in the agency’s immense growth and subsequent entrance into international markets in the ensuing years, providing a helicopter view on the different activities to optimize its services. He has also played a pivotal role in elevating the agency’s organizational culture, having launched a series of intellectually stimulating courses under an initiative titled Profound Academy. These courses help sharpen the mental capacity of Profound employees, which subsequently elevates their work performance.

Gino attended Erasmus University Rotterdam in the Netherlands, where he obtained his bachelor’s degree in International Business Management and immediately thereafter his master’s degree in Strategic Management, in which he graduated cum laude. His talent for leadership and ambitious mindset shined through as he climbed the corporate ladder at the Dutch asset management firm Robeco, going from sales agent to several management positions in a span of four years. In 2012 Gino returned to his native island Curaçao, where he worked as a Senior Consultant at Bearingpoint Caribbean and later as Commercial Director at Extura (2016).
