Who is Pieter Dorsman and what is his Substack about ?

My career in finance has taken me around the world from London to Hong Kong where I was involved in project and corporate finance for Barclays and UBS, to Vancouver, Canada where I am active in tech, angel investing and venture capital. Dutch by birth, but was so keen to leave The Netherlands that I left right after graduating and never worked there. Still love the place.

So regular updates here, but not just on finance, although there is a bit of that. No, my passion and interest in global affairs, politics and history inform the writing here while noting that there are huge overlaps between the political and economical, between tech and global affairs. The range is wide, but once you follow the regular updates there is hopefully a pattern. On top of that sometimes local and cultural excursions and a deep dive in European stuff that I consider to be underreported in international media.
