‘I am looking forward to my start at the Satelliet Group as CEO of this collective of extraordinary companies,’ says Willem-Jan. 'This energetic club, brimming with ambitions at home and abroad, enthusiastically continues its entrepreneurial journey that started over 50 years ago. Under the credo ‘Creating places to remember’ - with sustainability as the essence of the policy - we continue to strive nationally and internationally to bring people together in unique, hospitable locations. I am looking forward to making my contribution to this growing organisation from now on. For his contribution and unbridled commitment over the more than four decades Christan has been associated with the organisation, I thank him very much. We will continue to translate the objectives and aspirations into concrete actions and implementation: we have already started!'
The Satelliet Group was founded on the ambition to strengthen its proposition and achieve sustainable growth through strategic acquisitions in the hospitality interior domain. In cooperation with investment company VE Partners (VEP), the aim is to expand market specialisation and international expansion in northwest Europe. Current CEO Christan Brouwers officially transfers his position to Willem-Jan Strijbosch as of 1 October next and will continue to actively contribute to the (inter)national expansion and growth ambitions of the overall Satelliet Group as an Advisory Board Member.
Christan Brouwers: ‘With the arrival of Willem-Jan Strijbosch as the new CEO, I look forward to the future with great confidence. His experience in cooperation - both nationally and internationally in different industries - fits seamlessly with our vision. The world is changing and sustainability is playing an increasingly crucial role. In these times, it is even more important to strengthen each other. Together, we create concepts where people like to gather, make connections: Places to remember. As an advisor, I will stay connected to the Satelliet Group and will cooperate with the further growth and internationalisation with great pleasure and energy.
