Mattijs ten Brink says goodbye to Transavia and moves to Sunweb Group
After six years in the position of CEO, Mattijs ten Brink is saying goodbye to Transavia and will transfer to the Sunweb Group later this year. Under Mattijs' leadership, Transavia has developed into a financially healthy company with a powerful brand.
'It's not easy to leave Transavia, it's such a great company! Fortunately, I leave behind a healthy organization with a very strong team that can look to the future with confidence. But I don't want to pass up the opportunity that has now presented itself at this stage of my life," says Mattijs ten Brink.
Dave del Canho, chairman of the Supervisory Board of Transavia: 'The fact that Mattijs is now leaving Transavia came as a surprise, but personal development and innovation fit the culture of Transavia. So does this step. We are extremely grateful to Mattijs for the important contribution he has made to our company over the past six years.'
Pieter Elbers, president and CEO of KLM, former commissioner of Transavia: 'We find it extremely unfortunate that Mattijs is leaving the KLM Group. Under the leadership of Mattijs, Transavia has developed strongly in recent years into a financially healthy company with an important role within and more intensive cooperation with the KLM Group. Naturally, we respect his choice and wish Mattijs the best of luck.'
Mattijs will stay on until the end of September and transfer his duties to the other Transavia directors. The Supervisory Board of Transavia, in collaboration with shareholder KLM, has started the succession process to continue building the future of Transavia.
