Beau-Anne backs industrial and climate tech founders turning hard technology into systemic change, scaling solutions that make Europe more competitive, sustainable, and resilient. She is a big believer in Europe’s next tech renaissance.

Before joining FORWARD.one, Beau-Anne was an Investment Principal at DOEN Participaties, investing in companies driving the energy transition and energy access. There, she sharpened her lens on climate impact, business models, and what it takes to scale solutions in complex markets.
Her career started at Adyen, where she worked on scaling operations during its early growth phase. A front-row seat to what high-performance, fast-scaling companies look like from the inside.
She holds a Master’s in Industrial Engineering, graduating in Robotics and Control Engineering, and founded the Young Advisory Group during her studies, reflecting an early commitment to entrepreneurial problem-solving.
At FORWARD.one, she has set up climate tech operations and embedded Impact and ESG into the firm’s core. Today, she partners with industrial founders who aim to solve structural problems, and have the ambition to build category leaders while doing it.
Technical innovation is the fastest lever to tackle climate change and geopolitical threats. I back founders building solutions that can shift entire value chains, not just optimize the edges.
What Beau-Anne invests in
Energy Tech & Industrial Tech. Beau-Anne focuses on deeptech and industrial solutions that decarbonize industry, strengthen infrastructure, and improve resource efficiency.
Hardware that matters. She believes software alone will not solve our biggest challenges. The future demands hardware, deeptech and industrial systems that can be deployed at scale.
European competitiveness. Her investment lens is rooted in Europe’s strategic position: commercializing technical innovation is the fastest way to strengthen competitiveness, sustainability and productivity.
Impact with teeth. She looks for technologies where climate and industrial impact are inseparable from commercial success, not an afterthought.
The future is European and the opportunity is now. If we commercialize our industrial and climate innovations with conviction, we don’t just adapt to the future. We define it.
