Leadership

An organization scheme with the Supervisory Board at the top, followed by the Executive Board. To the side of the Executive Board is the Stronger25 office. Below these are the corporate groups and business lines.

A corporate governance structure is in place to safeguard our principles to operate as an independent private limited company and to create a sustainable platform to deliver value to our people, our clients and society at large.

Supervisory Board

The Supervisory Board's task is to supervise the policy of the Executive Board and the general course of events of the company and its affiliated business. In 2024, the Chair, Peter Blauwhoff, stepped down from the Supervisory Board after nine years. We thank him for his contribution. He has been succeeded as Chair by Daan Sperling. We welcome Taco de Haan to the Supervisory Board who brings a wealth of knowledge and experience of our industry and the energy transition.

Business Lines and Global Directors

In 2024, Royal HaskoningDHV was organised globally across four business lines (each managed by a Global Director reporting directly to the Executive Board): 

  • Industry & Buildings

  • Mobility & Infrastructure

  • Water & Maritime

  • Digital

On 1 January 2025, the Business Line Digital merged into other business lines and corporate groups. As a result, the role of Global Director Digital ceased to exist.
