The Supervisory Board of Jumbo Maritime has appointed Peter de Bree as the new CEO of the company. He succeeds Daan Koornneef, who will step down as CEO, effective January 1, 2025.
Over the past two years, Koorneef has successfully guided Jumbo through a period of economic growth. Following constructive discussions, it was mutually agreed that he would pursue new opportunities outside the company, states the Supervisory Board.
The Supervisory Board expresses its gratitude to Daan for his contributions to bringing Jumbo to where it is today and wishes him every success in his future endeavours.
‘After two years as CEO of Jumbo, I have achieved my key objectives, and it is the right moment to transition leadership,’ says Koorneef. ‘Together with our partners in the JSI Alliance, we have enhanced our service and quality to our clients. I want to thank everyone for their support and dedication during this journey.’
