Mr. Niels Doodeman has been appointed as a member of the Board of Management of Ballast Nedam. He will be responsible for the regional business units. With this appointment, Ballast Nedam takes the next step in enhancing the regional character of its organisation.
Anita Oudejans will take over the role as Managing Director of Ballast Nedam West. She previously held the position of Head of Construction Development within the organisation. Her passion for the construction industry, the focus on reliability and her client orientation make her a very suitable successor.
Niels Doodeman began his career in 1990 at the West Frisian construction company Heddes, where he further advanced and completed multiple business and financial education programs. He held various positions within the company and became Managing Director in 2011.
"The strategy of Ballast Nedam revolves around balancing entrepreneurship with risk management and stability. We prioritise projects with a repetitive nature and economies of scale, where expertise can be (re)applied and risks can be better managed. This underscores the importance of strong regional businesses," says Mr. Kemal Sağlam, CEO of Ballast Nedam. "Niels has been a part of our organisation for many years and has repeatedly demonstrated strong strategic leadership, combined with pragmatism and transparency in collaboration. He is a very welcomed and suitable addition to the Board of Management."
