Leadership change at Fetim Group - Jacco van Plateringen new CEO
Amsterdam – 29 September 2023
The Supervisory Board of Fetim BV is pleased to announce that Mr Jacco van Plateringen has been appointed as the new CEO of Fetim BV (Fetim Group).
With effect from 1 October 2023, Joop de Rooij, will leave Fetim BV to pursue his career as Chief Commercial/Growth Officer at HES International, one of Europe's leading independent bulk terminal operators. His contribution to Fetim Group, first as a supervisory board member, and for the last eighteen months as CEO, has been of great value during today's challenging and rapidly changing business environment. We are grateful to Mr de Rooij for his dedication and achievements during his time with us.
To ensure a smooth transition to new leadership, we are pleased to announce that Jacco van Plateringen has been appointed as his successor from 1 October. Jacco joined Fetim Group in 2003 and has progressed to his most recent role as Chief Commercial Officer since taking office. With his 30 years of experience in the industry, and 20 years with Fetim Group, Jacco brings an unrivalled knowledge of both our products and our customers. Working closely with the current management team, Jacco will help ensure continuity in current relationships and stakeholders, and taking our strategic ambitions forward.
"We are on the right track with solid growth ahead. I am sincerely proud that because of my departure to HES International, we as Fetim can meet the emerging leadership need from within our own ranks" says Joop de Rooij. "The current management team, as it already functioned over the last year as a competent and enthusiastic team, will be continued in the same form and will continue on the chosen path of adding value for and to our clients, now with Jacco as inspirational chairman. I wish Jacco and with him all employees of Fetim Group a lot of success and pleasure during the current growth phase of the company."
Jacco van Plateringen added: "I see it as my task as CEO, together with the management team, to continue to embrace innovation, solve problems, create opportunities and further expand the company together with my colleagues from a clear mission. Making Fetim relevant is my passion. I look forward to the coming years".
The Supervisory Board expresses its thanks to all employees, customers, shareholders and business partners for their continued support and confidence in Fetim Group and looks forward to a promising future under Jacco's leadership in the firm belief that as a Fetim team, we will continue to achieve successes together in the opportunities ahead.
