Marcel Pierre

Spear’s Review

Marcel Pierre has been an adviser to Yes We Can Youth Clinics since its launch in 2010, going on to become CFO at the end of 2015. Pierre joined Yes We Can after being approached by founder and CEO Jan Willem Poot. ‘He asked me to advise on the business side of his company,’ recalls Pierre. ‘I was immediately inspired by the fantastic work that the organisation does.’

Yes We Can is a specialised mental health-care institution, and its unique approach has proven successful: some 70 per cent no longer need special care after having completed 10 weeks of residential treatment and a minimum of four weeks of aftercare.

‘When everything else fails, we are there for them,’ Pierre says.
