Jeroen van der Veer

Dutch chief executive

Jeroen van der Veer built a career in business at a period when the rules of commerce were themselves changing.

The record lists Jeroen van der Veer as Dutch chief executive.

Jeroen van der Veer was born at Utrecht in 1947. His recorded nationality is Netherlands. He was educated at Delft University of Technology and Erasmus University Rotterdam.

Post-war business was mass-market and increasingly multinational, managed by professionals rather than owners.

He worked as entrepreneur and engineer.

Enterprises outlive their founders or they do not, and that is the whole test.

That the business was built from Netherlands shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.
