From June 2025 onwards, after five years as a member of the HollandDoor management team, Engelie Beenen is handing over the role of chair of Cooperative HollandDoor to Geerten van der Lugt. This transition reflects the shared agreement within our cooperative to rotate these responsibilities every three to five years, as all members of HollandDoor contribute on an equal footing to the organization.
Engelie looks back on a period during which the organization has seen significant growth in expertise, active expansion into other sectors, increased professionalism in its processes and a growing number of partners, clients and countries of operation. Engelie will remain actively involved as a partner in ensuring HollandDoor’s continued growth and success.
We warmly welcome Geerten van der Lugt in his new role as chair. Geerten brings a wealth of experience that will guide HollandDoor forward in its mission to foster sustainable agricultural and horticultural development worldwide. He will be responsible for day-to-day management alongside Niek Botden and Ad Merks.
This agreed rotation of leadership ensures our cooperative benefits from diverse insights and our continuous renewal, strengthening our collective impact.
