Marieke Dessauvagie joined Necron Group as part of Necron Hospitality Group, where she works closely with CEO Dirk Bakker on the group’s hospitality activities. Her focus is on new hotel acquisitions and the asset management of the existing portfolio.

Having worked at Leonardo Hotels, Colliers and Marriott International, Marieke brings a well-rounded perspective on both hotel real estate and operations. She specialises in hotel investments, lease and management agreements, and the analysis behind new opportunities. During her time at Colliers, she also advised on projects for Necron, giving her an early connection to the company.

Hospitality has always been the common thread throughout her career. It is the sector that first sparked her ambition, and it still does. What drew her to Necron was its entrepreneurial mindset, decisiveness, and the ambition to approach hospitality in a different way.

Outside work, Marieke enjoys spending time with her family. In a busy life with three young children, music helps her slow down and reset. She also enjoys reading and discovering new artists.
