Yvonne Linssen on this management change: "In recent years, several members of our board and management team have played a key role in the continued growth and development of our company. People with a huge track record like Ed Houben, Mariëlle Timmermans (age 57), Chris Sniekers (age 55) and Miriam Joris (age 62) have ensured a smooth transition from the second to the third generation of Linssen. Generation 2.5 as we sometimes call it, has prepared us for the future of Linssen Yachts. Now is the time for the Linssen family to take a more prominent role. And placing our focus emphatically on developing new product concepts that unmistakably carry the Linssen DNA. In order to assign roles in our tasks and responsibilities effectively, we will now be working with a four-member board.”
Management team also expanded
Simultaneously with the changes in the board, the management team of Linssen Yachts has also been expanded. Wendy Linssen (age 39), daughter of Peter Linssen and responsible for marketing and Linssen Boating Holidays®, joined the management team on 1 July.
