ForFarmers board set to see new face
Cees de Jong [pictured] is not putting himself forward for a new term as a ForFarmers supervisory board member.
Meanwhile, the compound feed company, the largest in Europe, has announced a new candidate, Jan van Nieuwenhuizen, as a supervisory board member. His appointment is set to be confirmed at the group’s AGM on April 23, 2021.
Cees de Jong remarked: “ForFarmers is well positioned to face the challenges in the markets with its strategy Build to Grow 2025. In the past years I have enjoyed considering various strategic issues in my role as member of the supervisory board and have been able to contribute to the development of the organisation. The moment has come that I need and want to give priority to other matters, which is why I have decided not to be eligible for a new term of four years.”
Jan van Nieuwenhuizen was a member of the management board of Rabobank Group until September 2020. He started his career in 1986 at JP Morgan in Amsterdam and London. After holding executive positions at Morgan Stanley and NIBC, he joined Rabobank in 2009. He read law in Leiden and business economics at the University of Freiburg in Switzerland. He has also held various supervisory directorships, including at FGH Bank and Bouwfonds Property Development.
“His extensive international experience, his knowledge of the global agricultural sector and his passion for sustainability are a valuable contribution to the ForFarmers supervisory board.”
