“Leading such a dedicated, fun, and hard-working team has been a pleasure and an honor. I am immensely proud of what we have achieved together, but after more than six years, it’s time for me to chart a new course. I can’t think of anyone better placed than Roel to take TLF through its next growth phase.”

Eric Lambregts, Co-Founder and Chairman of The Logic Factory expressed his gratitude, saying:

“We would like to thank Marjolijn for her dedication to The Logic Factory and we wish her the best for the future. We are fortunate to have someone of Roel’s caliber and experience to step up as CEO. Under Roel’s direction, we anticipate not only meeting but exceeding the evolving demands of our customers, ensuring sustained growth and success.”

Roel also shared his thoughts, stating:

“All of us at TLF owe Marjolijn a debt for the great work and support she has provided over the years, she will be missed. I wish her every success with her future endeavors.” On his appointment as successor: “It’s often been said that if you cut me in half, you’ll find TLF red, white, and blue running through my veins and I’m honored to pick up the reigns as CEO. Today’s supply chain challenges are significant, but with innovative technology, the right approach, and our talented team, we can deliver even greater value. I’m eager to continue fostering the strong relationships we have built with our customers and partners and look forward to driving future success together.”

The Logic Factory remains committed to its mission “To help our customers make lasting performance improvements and to build a great company that offers fun work to great people” and ambition “To be the best partner for our customers, delivering high-end planning, scheduling, optimization, support and hosting services.” To strengthen our leadership and underscore our commitment to regional clients, The Logic Factory is also excited to announce the appointment of several new Managing Directors.
