Entrepreneur & Matchmaker
Inga Verbeeck has built a successful career as an active entrepreneur and consultant. Over the past twenty years Inga has had the opportunity to build a global network of renowned entrepreneurs, creative minds and artists alike. With a financial education as a backbone she brings with her an arduous track record in strong commercial growth, coupled with a passion for results for her clients and a warmth of character that makes her perfectly suited to the elite matchmaking industry. Inga currently runs her own personal consulting & matchmaking agency. She mentors and guides remarkable singletons across the globe in achieving their personal goals.
Before venturing into the world of matchmaking – both on a business level as on a personal level – Inga found herself at the helm of a leading international steel trading company. There she developed through the ranks and became CEO at the age of only 29. It was in the steel industry that Inga developed the extensive financial, human resources and business skills. Inga’s commercial acumen together with a charismatic and fervent personality, have helped her to establish a formidable reputation as a young and dynamic entrepreneur, with a wide global network of contacts at the highest level of global business and across a wide variety of industries, from the entertainment world to the financial world. Her business backbone combined with a some entrepreneurial DNA, as well as a few unplanned events and obstacles led her to now run Ivy Relations.
After competing internationally at an early age in figure ice-skating, Inga developed her early career as a yachting journalist and photographer, allowing her to report from around the world and fueling her passion for travel. An avid skier, diver and adventurer, Inga has a 14-year old son Ryan at the center of her existence as well as a love for animals and the outdoors to balance a fast-paced life and profession.

I appreciate an outspoken personality and respect individuality. I believe it is okay to be, to act and present yourself as you really are and feel. More importantly, such it is with all things in life. “Age quod agis.” ; or as E.E. Cummings said it : “It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.”
During childhood sports were a driving factor. At the age of 6 I fell in love with figure skating, a passion that lead me to training and competing intensely for the next decade.
From early on I took on the role of an entrepreneur. From being the president of the student council to organising events and competing in the national Young Entrepreneur competition, I always initiated to be leading, active and learning.
I have a weakness for adventure, have an urge to travel frequently and I love to ski. Very few moments in life can compete with standing on a mountain top and taking a deep breath before gliding down that magical, crisp and snowy hill side.
While on holiday in South-Africa as an eighteen-year old exploring the quays of beautiful Cape Town a great adventure began. I set out to travel the globe with contracts for coverage of the Whitbread Round the World (Yachting) Race. Experiencing different cultures and learning the ways of the world, I traveled for over a year as a freelance journalist before returning home to Antwerp. Writing and photographing has remained a part of my life and work ever since.
At the age of nineteen I commenced my work at the family business. My parents had founded their steel company in 1966 which was a unique learning and opportunity platform for which I will always be grateful. Whilst studying in evening school I learnt the tricks of the trade and developed an extensive understanding of business in the fast-paced and international environment where the family company was active.
I am proud to be a woman and honoured to be a mother – and without a doubt my son is the one thing that supersedes all. Now an avid golf player with big dreams at the age of 14 – he is my little hero.
Over a thirteen-year span at the family business I evolved from administration and logistics to finance, on to business development and project management to become the CFO in 2002. In 2008 the board appointed me as CEO to sail the company through its most difficult of years which resulted in a restructuring deal with a large US private investment firm. I have had the opportunity through the years to work with – and learn from - a great amount of top experts in a variety of fields, as well as build an extensive international business network.
During my career I have found one of my greatest gratifications to be to inspire others. Through being a corporate consultant and matchmaker I now set out to use my knowledge, expertise and experience – good and certainly bad - to the benefit of other professionals. With a holistic philosophy I strive to add value to the lives of my clients.
Over the years I've faced many obstacles, as I believe most entrepreneurs do: from the usual difficulties that come with growth, learning and trial & error to uncommon and disastrous ones such as fraud investors, blackmail and bad-mouthing. Ups, and deep lows. The one thing that always pulled me through were integer supporters, several of them (ex) clients. These strangest of times due to Covid-19 are a most challenging event affecting us all in one way or another. I am grateful that the one good thing might be that kindness now regains some strength in this world, and love is appreciated and wanted more consciously and profoundly!

For two years, Carmen Strofer has been playing cupid to hundreds of extremely successful people from across the world while working with Ivy International, a UK-based matchmaking company that has offices across Europe, the US, and in Dubai.

“Matchmaker, matchmaker make me a match, find me a find, catch me a catch. Matchmaker, matchmaker look through your book and make me a perfect match.”
After having met with the bright and elegant Inga Verbeeck, the founder and CEO of IVY International, I realize that the
song lyric from the 1963 Broadway musical “Fiddler on the Roof ” still is of essence. Many of us are in search of an intimate, committed and long lasting relationship. Yet, many of us don’t seem to be able to find nor fulfill just that. Perhaps a personalized matchmaking is the way to go?
The classic sense of the term ‘matchmaker’ is obsolete as Inga Verbeeck puts into practice a new formula for finding love. Her consultancy and coaching service, Ivy International, is highly customized and firstly human, adding a touch of philosophy, psychology, and an old-fashioned sense of dignity to meeting Mr. or Mrs. Right.
Vous êtes une éternelle romantique? Fleur bleue vous rêvez de blanc? Pour vous, une belle histoire se termine de toute évidence par Ils se marièrent, eurent beaucoup d’enfants et vécurent heureux jusqu’à la fin de leur vie? Sauf que le prince charmant (ou la princesse, pour ces messieurs…) n’a toujours pas pointé son nez, perdu votre adresse ou trouvé celle de votre voisin(e), moche de surcroît… Vous vous dites que la vie est injuste et que toutes ces applis qui promettent rencontres et bonheur à la clé ne sont que pures pertes de temps et votre temps à vous est précieux. Mais pas que. Vous êtes précieuse. Parce que vous êtes très probablement femme et Libanaise si vous lisez ce papier. Et si vous êtes femme et Libanaise, alors vous êtes forcément très exigeante. C’est presqu’un euphémisme. Dans ce cas, et seulement dans ce cas, Noun a quelque chose pour vous. Ou plutôt quelqu’un…

PARIS (EUROLATINNEWS)- ¿Afortunado en los negocios y desgraciado en amores? Probablemente ya no exista este drama en quienes sufren de una angustiosa soledad sentimental, a pesar de su dinero. El negocio del siglo XXI es el “matchmaking dating” para ricos. Una emprendedora nos cuenta acerca de su fructífera compañía de cupido de alto standing.
Het exclusieve matchmaking agentschap Ivy International, dat bemiddelt voor rijke vrijgezellen, introduceert in de Benelux een nieuwe formule die specifiek gericht is op de nog jonge markt: die van de 21 – 28 jarigen. Hoogopgeleide 20′ers kloppen namelijk steeds vaker aan bij matchmaking agentschappen.
PARIS. Stellen Sie sich vor: Sie sind Single, ziemlich betucht und wollen dem Alleinsein mit der Hilfe von Profis ein Ende setzen. Also nutzen Sie einen personalisierten Liebes-Such-Dienst, der erst in intensiven Gesprächen Ihre Bedürfnisse herausfindet, um dann den perfekten Partner auszuwählen. Das erste Rendez-vous in einem gehobenen Restaurant steht an. Man führt Sie zum Tisch und dort wartet, ein wenig nervös, eine Traumfrau vom Typ Vanessa Paradis. Oder der lange ersehnte Liebesritter vom Schlage eines Alain Delon. Oder ein anderer Star, der alleine lebt, sich nicht durch herkömmliche Single-Börsen klicken will - und sich den Service von "Ivy International" leisten kann.
On l’attend, la perle rare. Venue tout droit du ciel, on l’espère un beau matin dans notre canapé (ou en train de passer l’aspirateur, on a souvent l’espoir utile). Sauf que les perles rares ne tombent pas – vraiment – du ciel. Voici 5 précieux conseils de la part d'Inga Verbeeck, matchmakeuse chez Ivy International, agence matrimoniale, pour rencontrer l’âme sœur en 2016.
Für eine Einstiegsgebühr von 15 000 Euro verkuppelt die Partnervermittlungsagentur «Ivy International» Wohlhabende auf der Suche nach Liebe. Im Interview mit der Mannschaft erklärt Gründerin und CEO Inga Verbeeck, warum sie diese stolze Summe verlangt – und warum auch Menschen mit kleinerem Portemonnaie zu ihren Kunden gehören.
Tanta fortuna y les falta lo más importante, el amor. Queridos millonarios, “decidnos de qué presumís y os diremos de qué padeceis”. Y es que si hay algo nítido en esta vida, es que el dinero no da la felicidad y a los hechos nos remitimos (aunque ayude, como dice vuestra madre). Podrán tener todo el lujo que quieran, permitirse todo lo que se les antoje pero, ¿para qué todo eso cuando no tienen a nadie con quién compartirlo?
Avec son gros pull mode flanqué d’une étoile et son eye-liner rock qui lui donne des airs de Selah Sue – «vous êtes douée, tout le monde ne perçoit pas cette facette de ma personnalité!» –, Inga Verbeeck, 36 ans, tranche avec le look tailleur strict de la businesswoman qui enchaîne ses rendez-vous d’affaires dans les palaces. Caméléon, elle aime aussi la jouer girlie en robe à fleurs, mais sous ses atours elle ne fait jamais semblant d’être quelqu’un d’autre.
C'est un leurre de penser que les personnes les plus fortunées sont dénuées de ce besoin d'amour inhérent à l'être humain. Et la fameuse phrase que chantait Véronique Sanson, « je n'ai besoin de personne » concerne de moins en moins de gens. Pour preuve, le pourcentage de personnes qui se connectent à internet chaque mois (91 millions dans le monde) pour trouver l'âme soeur ou le coup du soir, révèle un grand vide affectif.
Contrairement aux idées reçues, nul n'est épargné. Et les « riches » sont les plus touchés. Bizarre ? Pas tant que ça. Le manque de temps à cause d'un emploi du temps surchargé et les voyages à répétition, ne favorisent pas les rencontres. Comme tout un chacun, ils sont désireux de partager des moments à deux. Car comme le souligne, Inga Verbeeck, CEO de l'agence de matchmaking de luxe, Ivy International, le tango se danse avec un ou une partenaire.
Hace unos días me reuní con Inga Verbeeck, fundadora de Ivy International, una agencia de matchmaking para hombres y mujeres distinguidos que quieren encontrar a su verdadera media naranja. Si queréis saber quién es Inga y qué es eso del matchmaking, ya sabéis, no os queda otra que seguir leyendo.
Podríamos pensar que los multimillonarios, celebrities o los futbolistas lo tienen muy fácil para ligar. Seguramente en muchos casos así sea, pero lo cierto es que estas personas llevan un ritmo de vida tan acelerado que les cuesta (aún más que a cualquier mortal) encontrar una pareja que se adapte a su (lujosa y muchas veces estresante) situación personal. Por eso, Inga Verbeek (con apenas 30 años) decidió fundar Ivy International hace un año, una agencia de match making en la que busca novio/novia a cualquiera con un poder adquisitivo, digamos alto, ya quela cuota de inscripción empieza en los 15.000 y puede llegar a los 50.000 euros. Ahora aterrizan en España y en The Luxonomist la hemos entrevistado.
Antes de quedar con Inga Verbeeck, fundadora de Ivy International, un servicio dematchmaking para VIPs, me puse a pensar en todos los métodos que había probado para buscar pareja y sexo. Me he dado de alta en todas las páginas de contactos que me permiten tener un perfil sin foto, para proteger mi intimidad, of course. Para compensarlo, siempre incluyo una descripción muy provocadora e irónica, con la esperanza de que alguien pille mi humor.
Una volta si definivano agenzie matrimoniali o per cuori solitari, oggi si adotta il termine inglese “match making”. Le nuove realtà in questo ambito per imporsi devono farsi strada tra le innumerevoli applicazioni per smartphone e siti per conoscere potenziali partner, affinando sempre di più i propri servizi e il target di riferimento.
Vijf jaar lang heeft Inga Verbeeck (36) in Parijs internationale klanten binnen gehaald voor het bemiddelingsbureau Berkeley International. In die tijd, is de omzet vertwaalfvoudigt, zegt ze. "We draaien rond de 10 miljoen euro." Maar nu is het genoeg geweest, vindt ze. Ze splitst zich af van Berkeley, keert terug naar Vlaanderen en begint voor zichzelf.
De Vlaamse die de rijken der aarde koppelt. Inga Verbeeck start na werk bij Berkeley International eigen datingbedrijf.
Ze boekt een miljoenenomzet, maar mag niets vertellen over haar klanten. De Vlaamse Inga Verbeeck bouwde de Europese tak van het datingbedrijf Berkeley International uit, en begint nu voor zichzelf.

Berkeley International, agenzia internazionale attiva nel settore degli incontri dell'anima gemella con uffici a Londra, Antwerp, Parigi, Milano, Ginevra e Amsterdam, propone agli iscritti un servizio esclusivo nella ricerca del partner ideale. Per questo ha redatto la classifica delle mete più romantiche.
Sarebbe come voler definire il luogo più bello, ma sappiamo bene che “non è bello ciò che è bello, è bello ciò che piace”. Lo stesso avviene a voler trovare il posto più romantico. Quali e quanti possono essere i criteri per definire il romanticismo di un posto?
Tutto questo premesso, è vero anche che ci sono dei luoghi nell’immaginario collettivo che sono davvero romantici, o per lo meno mete da sogno che potrebbero mettere d’accordo molte coppie!
