De Haas is thus following in the footsteps of Eddy Smit, founder and shareholder of the European Property Manager. Smit founded MVGM together with Menno van der Horst in 2008 after the Management Buy Out of the Real Estate Management activities of Meeús (meanwhile merged into AON). Smit remains actively involved in the organization as a Supervisory Board member. The appointment of De Haas comes after the exponential international growth that MVGM has experienced in recent years. In this context, MVGM Group had already broadened the management board with Managing Director Europe Maarten de Haas (no relation to Janno de Haas) and with Susi Kaml as CFO. Together with Member of the Board Menno van der Horst, CHRO Peggy Poldervaart and CIO Cor Treure, they manage the international Property Management organization. Janno de Haas has 15 years of experience in managing large organizations in various sectors such as Intergas, Den Braven and Philips Healthcare. Smit looks forward to the changing of the guard with confidence: “Janno brings a lot of international knowledge and experience, as well as enthusiasm, involvement and a fresh look at Property Management. His career shows that he has broad experience in managing international organizations in changing markets where innovation is indispensable, just like at MVGM. We will work together on a close transfer until the end of 2021 and after that I look forward to thinking along with Janno and the Board and Management of MVGM Group from my new role as Supervisory Director.” De beslissing van Smit (65) om verder te gaan als Commissaris komt niet onverwacht. MVGM heeft zich aangepast aan de nieuwe werkelijkheid na de impact van COVID-19 op de vastgoedmarkt. Met Smit zijn behoefte aan een omslag van een uitvoerende rol naar een adviserende rol, is het nu een goed momentum voor de overdracht aan De Haas. Menno van der Horst “I had the pleasure of working with Eddy on the development of MVGM for 18 years. We started with about 170 employees at the time and are proud of the 1,600 employees who today from 10 countries contribute to our ambition to make MVGM the best European Property Manager. Eddy has a keen eye for both our employees and clients and knows our business like no other. I am pleased that we can continue to use these capacities in the transfer to Janno and in Eddy's new role at MVGM as Supervisory Director.” previous post News overview next post Related Posts MVGM participation PROVADA 2021 2 weeks ago MVGM is looking forward to participating in Provada 2021 2 months ago Susi Kaml CFO at MVGM Group 5 months ago Opportunities for investors in tight student housing market 7 months ago MVGM wins multiple housing management mandates in the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Portugal and Romania 8 months ago property management business brokers Real Estate Appraisals International Advisory Other specializations DisclaimerConditionsPrivacy Follow MVGM:LinkedIn Report a faultContact
