Guus Overdijkink and Niels de Bruijn have joined Andrzej Stanikowski on the ITM Group’s supervisory board. Overdijkink will chair the board.
Overdijkink is co-owner and co-founder of the private investment fund Victus Participations. He is experienced in private minority investments and buyouts, especially relating to family-owned companies.
De Bruijn is executive board member of Van Oord, an international family-owned marine contractor based in the Netherlands.
“We are very pleased we have been able to bind such capable replacements in our supervisory board,” said Arend van der Sluis, chairman of ITM Group’s board of directors.
“We think it is important to have supervisors who are familiar with family-owned companies, like ours. Andrzej, Niels and Guus combine this affinity with expert knowledge of the tobacco industry, leading large project-driven organizations and strategy in changing environments.”
The new members replace Daan van Vliet and René Wolfkamp, who have stepped down after serving for eight years.
The company’s board and shareholders expressed appreciation for the departing members’ contributions. Under their supervision, the group has grown considerably.
