Rolf-Jan Zweep succeeds Dirk Kroonen as Chairman of the Board

Dirk Kroonen has decided to step aside as Chairman of the Board of Directors of our Chamber as a result of some significant changes in his role at Ernst & Young. He has been appointed COO/CFO responsible for Central and South-Eastern Europe, a region covering some 20 countries. In addition, he is also Tax & Legal Managing Partner for the same region. Because these functions simply take all of his time, he also had to pass over his role as Country Managing Partner of Ernst & Young for the Czech Republic to Magdalena Souček. The Board is very happy that Dirk will stay on as a regular Board Member.

The Board has chosen Rolf-Jan Zweep as the new Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Netherlands-Czech Chamber of Commerce. Rolf-Jan has been a Member of this Board for the past year. He has been in the Czech Republic in the position of CEO ING Bank Czech Republic, and General Manager Wholesale Banking for 4 years.
