Jan van Baars new CEO of Hezelburcht
After more than twenty years, Marc Guelen – founder and owner of Hezelburcht – is stepping down from his role as CEO. Effective the 1st of July 2018, he will be succeeded by Jan van Baars, a member of the Hezelburcht Management team since the 1st of January 2018 and former Director of Mortgages at ABN Amro.
I started Hezelburcht in 1995, and over our 23 years we have seen beautiful growth and development as a company. The result is a thriving organisation with more than 80 professionals, ready for the next phase. For me, this is the right time to hand over the day-to-day responsibilities as CEO and I am excited that Jan van Baars has accepted this position.
Jan is a highly motivated and experienced business professional. With the continued support of Hezelburcht’s existing Management team, Jan is absolutely capable of managing Hezelburcht in this new phase. – Marc Guelen, Owner
It is with great enthusiasm that I started my new role at Hezelburcht. It’s wonderful to be responsible for this nationally and internationally successful business service provider that strategically supports its customers to help them achieve their ambitions.
In the past few years, Hezelburcht has grown to be one of the largest independent firms providing funding consultancy services in the Netherlands. We will continue charting this course and I feel confident about our future. – Jan van Baars, CEO
