TradeNomad International provides hands-on strategic consulting for entrepreneurs — from financial optimization and operational strategy to international corporate structuring.
"We bridge the gap between running a great business and running it profitably."
TradeNomad International was founded by Klaas Michielsen, a seasoned entrepreneur with a background in accountancy who built and scaled multiple companies across the hospitality and production sectors before transitioning into strategic consulting.
Having navigated the full lifecycle of business ownership — from raising capital and managing cash flow to negotiating acquisitions and restructuring operations — Klaas brings a rare combination of financial rigour and real operational experience.

Our Hong Kong base provides world-class infrastructure at the gateway to Asia. We serve clients across Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and the Americas.
We work with business owners and entrepreneurs who want to get more out of what they've built — keeping more money in the business, expanding internationally or making smarter strategic decisions.
Many profitable businesses leave significant value on the table. We diagnose the gaps and build a clear plan to improve your bottom line.
From investment analysis to acquisition decisions, we provide the strategic layer that growing businesses need to build lasting value.
The right international structure can dramatically reduce your tax burden — legally. We guide solo founders, freelancers and small retail brands through practical steps based on real experience.
Many people have savings sitting idle or locked in low-return products. I share my personal vision on how to activate your capital — from portfolio thinking and market trends to pension planning and real estate — so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
