To strengthen its commitment to internationalisation and further development of services globally, Bliksund has hired the talent in leadership Jeroen van Zeeland as CTO. He has experience from leading positions in Norway and comes from Legentics AS. With experience in managing technical teams, Jeroen will focus on further developing the company's portfolio for a growing international market.

Bliksund's new CTO, Jeroen van Zeeland, comes from the Netherlands where Bliksund in February made the acquisition of Moditech Rescue Solutions. Jeroen came to Norway with his partner 6 years ago, has worked as Chief Technology Officer at Legentic and had a role as Head of Analytics at Storebrand ASA. He has a technical master's degree from Delft University of Technology. In addition, he is working on a PhD in philosophy at the University of Rotterdam.


"Bliksund is an exciting company and has had impressive growth in recent years. I have great faith in the company's strategy and portfolio and look forward to contributing to further growth and internationalization. With an office in my home country, great people and a strong culture, it was a great pleasure to receive an offer from Bliksund. I look forward to all the exciting tasks and challenges we will take on to move the company forward,"
says Jeroen van Zeeland, CTO of Bliksund.

 

International growth

While working in Norway, van Zeeland has been recognised as a top-10 finalist in E24's Technology Leadership Talents. Through his various roles in the Norwegian business community, he has also demonstrated impressive execution capabilities in managing technical departments and successful projects related to international acquisition processes.

Under Janne T. Morstøl's leadership, Bliksund has over the past three years made three acquisitions, entered several new markets and grown from 40 to over 100 million in revenue. Considering Bliksund's strategy to further develop its portfolio and grow internationally, she believes that van Zeeland is the right man in the right place.


"To facilitate further growth and development, we have hired Jeroen as our new CTO. In a short time, Bliksund has gone from being a Norwegian company with Norwegian customers to becoming an international supplier with customers in over 30 countries. This requires more employees with international experience, and we are convinced that Jeroen's background and experience will strengthen us in our further growth," says Janne T. Morstøl, CEO of Bliksund
