At the beginning of 2018, Royal IHC started a change and improvement process in order to implement the company's strategy. However, due to the long-term effect arising from a number of difficult projects, it is now necessary to accelerate this process. That is why, in consultation with the Supervisory Board, it was decided to expand the Management Board with Gert-Jan Antvelink, the company said in its release.
Gert-Jan has been appointed Chief Transformation Officer (CTO) with effect from 1 July. He has extensive experience in managing large-scale change processes at organisations such as Van Gansewinkel and Bosal. In his role, he will focus primarily on improving financial results in the short term and accelerating the course that has been set.
Furthermore, the Board of Directors will be temporarily supported by Daniel Himmel.
