Experience forged through transformation.
JAN DE LAET, A JOURNEY THROUGH MARKETS, CRISES & RESILIENCE
From trading floors in Chicago to private banking in Luxembourg, Jan’s career spans decades of global finance, strategic consulting, and personal reinvention.
What defines him is not the volatility he witnessed, but the stability he built from it.
A defining moment in global finance.
The 2008 Financial Crisis
The mid-2000s boom seemed unstoppable, until it wasn’t. When the real estate bubble burst, it exposed the fragility of systems built on unchecked risk.
The collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008 sent shockwaves across global markets.
Jan watched as clients, institutions, and economies unraveled, and realized the need for a new kind of financial trust built on independence, transparency, and control.
Beyond traditional banking.
Restoring Confidence in Wealth Management
In the aftermath, Jan was invited by a leading Luxembourg private bank to head its Ultra-High-Net-Worth Family Office division. His mission: rebuild relationships with families who had lost faith in traditional wealth institutions.
That experience led to a new insight, true security lies in independence. By separating the advisory role from the financial institution, families could finally regain control of their strategy.

From Experience to Guidance
With KAISJU Andorra, Jan combines his expertise in finance, governance, and lifestyle transitions to guide individuals and families through their own transformations.
Whether navigating relocation, tax strategy, or generational planning, his approach is grounded in clarity, resilience, and trust.
“Resilience is not resistance to change — it’s the ability to transform through it.” Jan De Laet
Strategy meets personal experience.
HOLISTIC VISION
Beyond numbers and markets, Jan’s passion has always been creating beautiful living spaces, from elegant apartments to serene manoirs in Europe. His wife’s family legacy in construction and design shaped their shared appreciation for architecture, heritage, and function.
Together, they have developed, restored, and curated homes that reflect balance and harmony — a principle that also defines their professional philosophy.
Guided by family, grounded in values.
FAMILY & CONTINUITY
Two of Jan’s daughters now work as real estate brokers in Belgium, while the third leads a thriving business and coaching practice.
The De Laet family story is one of evolution, each generation translating independence and creativity into new forms of success.
