delivering excellence in project management, running successful commercial

him well suited to lead Arcadis forward. He will join the current Arcadis
Executive Team who have managed Arcadis well during the recruitment process. I
would like to thank them, and interim CEO Renier Vree in particular, for their
dedication over the past few months."
"Arcadis is a great company entering a critical phase in its development, and
I'm excited about the prospect of leading it through that phase", said Mr.
Oosterveer. "I look forward to working with the rest of the Executive Board and
all the talented people in Arcadis to deliver profitable and sustainable growth.
My passion as a leader is ensuring the highest quality delivery, and unrelenting
client focus, and I know this matches Arcadis' values. My international business
experience, knowledge of the engineering industry, and client and people
development focus will be invaluable for the success of Arcadis. "
