Ronald Kouwenhoven joins Agidens as Country Director Automation Projects Netherlands
Agidens has appointed Ronald Kouwenhoven as Country Director Automation Projects Netherlands. The appointment further underlines Agidens’ growth ambitions in the Dutch market.
Agidens, a leading provider of industrial process automation and validation services, has appointed Ronald Kouwenhoven as Country Director within its Benelux project organisation.
In this new role, Kouwenhoven will be responsible for all of Agidens’ automation projects in the Netherlands. He will lead and further expand the company’s Automation Projects division in Sliedrecht and Amsterdam, while playing a key role in managing existing strategic accounts and accelerating Agidens’ continued growth in the Dutch market.
The Netherlands is an important strategic focus for Agidens.
“Taking responsibility for the Dutch market is both an exciting challenge and a major strategic opportunity for Agidens,” said Ronald Kouwenhoven. “The Netherlands is a mature and dynamic market with significant growth potential. I look forward to working closely with the local team, our partner network and the wider Agidens organisation to take Agidens’ development in the Netherlands to the next level, with a strong focus on operational excellence, service quality and sustainable value creation.”
Over the past decade, Kouwenhoven has built a strong track record at Actemium in project management, operations and general management, with a particular focus on E&I, automation and MES. Most recently, as Business Unit General Manager at Actemium, he combined strategic leadership and commercial responsibility with the management of a multidisciplinary team.
“Ronald’s professional background and extensive expertise immediately stood out, and through conversations with several key people across our organisation it became clear that he was the ideal fit,” said Hedwig Maes, CEO of Agidens. “I am therefore delighted to welcome Ronald to Agidens. The Dutch market is a key strategic focus for our company, which was already reflected at the end of last year when we moved into a larger office in Sliedrecht. With Ronald joining the team, we are building further on the leading position Agidens has established in the Netherlands in recent years. I look forward to strengthening our presence in the market even further with his fresh perspective and leadership.”
