Jacques Vandermeiren new CEO of Antwerp Port Authority
“These two aspects, combined with the necessary international experience, strong communication skills and inspiring people management, convinced the board to appoint Vandermeiren as the new CEO,” declared Port Authority chairman Marc Van Peel.
Vandermeiren is now beginning his “working in” period which he is approaching in full confidence. “It is certainly an honour for me to face the important local and international challenges for the Port Authority, in collaboration with the board of directors, the management committee, the personnel and the many stakeholders. Assuring the rich history of the port of Antwerp in a sustainable way in future is a task which I shall assume with pride and determination,” Vandermeiren confirmed.
Vandermeiren starts on 1 November 2016 as CEO designate, which means that he will shadow Eddy Bruyninckx who retains full authority as CEO, chairman of the management committee and managing director until 31 December 2016. Then on 1 January 2017 Eddy Bruyninckx will formally hand over to Jacques Vandermeiren.
