Rinke Zonneveld reappointed as CEO and Chairman of the Board at Invest-NL

The General Meeting of Shareholders of Invest-NL has reappointed Rinke Zonneveld as CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Invest-NL. The reappointment takes place at the recommendation of the Supervisory Board.

Since Rinke Zonneveld took office in 2022, Invest-NL has undergone significant development. The organization has evolved from an impact investor into a national financing and development institution, with a clear role in mobilizing capital for a more sustainable, innovative, and resilient Netherlands. Over the past six years, Invest-NL has invested more than €1.5 billion in companies, projects, and funds. By stepping in where the market is still hesitant, Invest-NL has managed to mobilize €4.1 billion in private investments. That is exactly the role of Invest-NL: to move the market where societal urgency and funding bottlenecks converge.

Peter Molengraaf, Chairman of the Supervisory Board:

“The Supervisory Board is pleased with the reappointment of Rinke Zonneveld. Under his leadership, Invest-NL has developed into a professional and ambitious investment organization with an increasingly relevant role for the Netherlands. Rinke combines social drive with strategic insight and knows how to connect parties around complex financing challenges. Especially now, when innovation, sustainability, and resilience require targeted investments and strong collaboration, continuity in leadership is of great value.”

Rinke Zonneveld:

“I am grateful for the trust of the shareholders and the Supervisory Board. Invest-NL has built a solid position over the past years, but our mission is more urgent than ever. Together with our colleagues, companies, co-investors, and partners, I want to continue building the economy of tomorrow.”
