Board member
The Supervisory Board of ForFarmers N.V. (‘ForFarmers’)
nominates Pieter Wolleswinkel as member of the Executive Board of
ForFarmers, to be appointed by the annual general shareholders
meeting (‘AGM’) on 14 April 2022. The appointment is for a period
of four years, ending at the end of the annual AGM of
2026.
The proposed appointment of Pieter Wolleswinkel relates to the
departure as of 1 January 2022 of Adrie van der Ven, COO ForFarmers
Poland and responsible for M&A in new regions. Van der Ven

that date, the Managing Director Poland will report directly to the
CEO, Yoram Knoop. Roeland Tjebbes, CFO of ForFarmers, will become
integrally responsible for the M&A-portfolio, besides the other
disciplines for which he remains responsible.
Yoram Knoop: “We are pleased that the Supervisory Board has
decided to nominate an internal candidate to fill the vacancy which
will be left by Adrie and that our team will then soon be complete
again. Pieter has been a member of our Executive Committee as of
beginning 2019 and, in his role as COO Netherlands, was almost
immediately confronted with the challenges in our sector as a
result of the nitrogen debate. His manner, setting out a clear plan
together with stakeholders, was noticed straight away. He is an
extremely valuable colleague. We are convinced that, pending of
course the decision of the AGM, his contribution in the Executive
Board will further underpin the implementation of our strategy
Build to Grow.”

portfolio. Pieter Wolleswinkel grew up on a farm. He is a
veterinarian and also has an MBA. After graduating he practiced as

international leadership positions at Provimi. The
Supervisory Board is nominating Pieter Wolleswinkel because of his
