Drs. Jakob (Jaap) Blaak
We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our former Chairman Drs. Jakob (Jaap) Blaak.
Jaap was member of our Board of Supervisory Directors from 2007 until May 2018 and its Chairman between 2008 and 2015.
We remember him for his business acumen, his calmness and focus during the many “mission critical situations” we had to endure and as a gentle and friendly leader and we are very grateful for his many years of service, dedication and loyalty.
We extend our deepest condolences to Jaap’s family and friends.
