Interstellar first saw the light in 2021, when CEO Maarten van Montfoort (1976), CFO Remy Cuny (1976-2023) and CTO David Schaap (1974) launched a collection of six established and ambitious, on-the-rise IT companies.
In 3 years Maarten, through his extensive experience in buy-and-build strategy, further developed the collection into a 12-label strong group of IT companies. We achieved our primary goals to gain both regional and national presence in the Netherlands by scaling autonomous growth and executing an ambitious M&A-strategy.
After reaching the critical mass we had envisioned through our 3-year expansion plan, it was time to create a powerful platform organization that could empower the next-level ambitions we had for the following 3-year cycle. To this end, the executive team was strengthened with the expertise and experience of Niels Batstra (CFO, 1972) and Christie Eijkelkamp (COO, 1974). From 2024, Interstellar has integrated its existing MSP-portfolio into a monobrand with national coverage and the scale to compete and serve clients at the top of the market.
The companies that were successfully integrated into Interstellar as of 2024 are: AskRoger!, CSN Group, DataByte, Datamex, Exite, Qconferencing, SCCT and Solimas. Within the Interstellar Group, Fundaments and Pinewood remain autonomous and strategic partners that continue to add value to both Interstellar’s clients and their own. Stronger together, to help organizations and people thrive in the world of tomorrow!
