Change of leadership
VanRiet CEO Rik van den Boog steps down
Rik van den Boog has left the Dutch system integrator VanRiet after seven successful years as Managing Director.
CFO Johan Verhoeff, Director of Sales & Marketing Kai Ramadhin and Director of Lifecycle Performance Services Thomas van Workum will be responsible for the company's fortunes for the time being, while the search for a permanent Managing Director is underway. "We are very grateful to Rik van den Boog for his dedication in leading VanRiet over the years," says Ramadhin. After leaving the Dutch company, the former CEO is taking a step back professionally. "I have no further ambitions to manage a company operationally. It was a great experience to work in a sector that I didn't know before," says van den Boog.
The VanRiet Group, headquartered in Houten, the Netherlands, has been producing automated sorting and conveying solutions for intralogistics for over 70 years. The company's product and service portfolio includes the development, integration, installation and maintenance of the systems.
