Cooperative PotatoNext strengthens the management team!

On the recommendation of the Supervisory Board, the Board of Cooperative PotatoNext appointed Mr. H. van der Linden as CEO, effective June 26, 2024, to temporarily strengthen the current management team with an experienced external director. 
Cooperative PotatoNext was formed on October 1, 2023, through the merger of the consumer potato product activities of Nedato in Oud-Beijerland, Agrico in Emmeloord, and Leo de Kock & Zn B.V. in Purmerend. The merger demands significant efforts from the new organization, and in consultation with the Works Council, it was decided to temporarily expand the management team. 

Harry van der Linden (56), with a background in (financial) executive roles, including in the agriculture sector, has extensive experience in managing the necessary transitions of companies and merger firms, with a focus on people, processes, and systems beyond the numbers. 

The Board and Supervisory Board of Cooperative PotatoNext look to the future with confidence and wish all stakeholders success in establishing a healthy organization where collaboration among all stakeholders is paramount.
