She was appointed as chief executive of Northern Europe in January 2023.

Lastly, Randstad named Miriam van der Heijden as chief marketing officer and is responsible for developing and executing an industry-leading marketing and brand strategy for the company. She was previously Vice President Marketing for ManpowerGroup in the Netherlands.

CEO Sander van ‘t Noordende, said, “Our people are our foundation and we focus on ensuring our strong culture, values, and spirit of entrepreneurship are present at all levels of the organisation. We are fortunate to have exceptional home-grown talent, who live our values and bring proven track records of delivering for our talent and clients.”

“I have nothing but confidence in Marc-Etienne as he takes the reins of our biggest market, as well as in Jesus and Dominique as they expand their strategic leadership. I would like to warmly welcome Miriam to the company, and express my gratitude to Traci Fiatte for her many contributions to Randstad,” van ‘t Noordende said.
