Menno Snel, a former Dutch state secretary for finance, will become the VNO-NCW employers’ organisation’s managing director next year, taking charge of its day-to-day operations.

The appointment fills a vacancy on the organisation’s board. VNO-NCW chairman Coen van Oostrom welcomed Snel’s arrival, according to an ANP report carried by Nieuws.nl.

Snel, 56, is a partner at strategic consultancy FGS Global. He has also worked at the Dutch finance ministry, pension provider APG, the International Monetary Fund and the Netherlands Water Boards Bank, and served in the third Rutte cabinet as state secretary for finance.

“I am looking forward to my new role,” Snel said. “The challenges and complexity facing our strong business community are considerable, both in the Netherlands and abroad.”
