Executive search in supply chain: Beyond the match
Identifying and attracting the right candidate in supply chain, manufacturing, or logistics takes more than a match at the functional level. In executive search and recruitment, the personal profile of the candidate and the cultural match with the company is just as, if not more, important. This applies for permanent positions as well as interim management.

Zeelandia produces a broad assortment of bakery ingredients, ranging from bread improvers to cake and bread mixes and from release agents to edible decorations. Kees-Jan van Wees is the son of a cattle farmer: “As a young boy, my dream was to run a dairy.” After studying at Wageningen University & Research, he joined FrieslandCampina as a production manager in the Netherlands in 1989. He advanced through production and logistics roles at plants in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and subsequently Asia, gaining more and more responsibility, and eventually he had seen every aspect of the supply chain.
