Van Nieuwenhuijzen joined Ahold in 2001. Since then, he has held several roles before moving to Indonesia to work at Super Indo.

Boudewijn has been working at Super Indo since last year as VP Operations,” Kolk said. “Boudewijn is a focused and knowledgeable leader who has proven to be able to make the connection between online and offline go-to-market strategies, seize opportunities, and always focus on the customer. He has a good connection with the team and adds value to the brand with his all-around experience. Under the inspiring advice of Johan, Boudewijn will make a strong start as Brand President."
