IN Amsterdam leadership update
Our director, Sietske van Tuin, has announced her move to a new role within Amsterdam’s Department of Economic Affairs. She has the following message for our valued network of partners, clients and contacts.
Sixteen years have passed by since I started my job as a communications advisor at IN Amsterdam (then Expatcenter). In various roles and for the past 6? years in the lead, I have been working with great passion and joy in providing a soft landing for international talent in the Amsterdam Area. What a tremendous journey it's been, growing together with our organisation and ensuring the warmest of welcomes to all who walk through our doors. Now the time has come for me to move on to a new challenge.
Since 1 June, I have switched to leading another team within the department of Economic Affairs and Culture of the City of Amsterdam. The incredible team of IN Amsterdam will continue to provide services together with Yulia Hess, who will be taking over my role from 1 August. She will introduce herself in the next issue of this newsletter in September.
Thank you to all partners, clients and, last but not least, my team members, with whom I have been working for the past 16 years. It has been an absolute pleasure. For those of you that would like to stay in touch, feel free to connect with me, Sietske van Tuin | LinkedIn.
