Meet our new Chief HR Officer
It's with great pleasure that we announce our new Chief Human Resources Officer, Sylvia Groenewold 💙
Sylvia joined team.blue in June 2022, and since then, she has been working on our People Strategy and on our new 'one team.blue'. We are more than happy to have such a well-rounded person as Sylvia on our team.
Let's get to know more about her:
"I am a mum of 2 kids, Mitchel (21) and Tatum (18). I love to spend time with them, my partner Kevin, his twins Chloë and Jordyn (11) and our two dogs Sansa and Holly. I am fascinated by the way people behave and how I can positively influence that to get the best out of them, so a career in HR was a logical choice."
