CEO
André van Troost is an experienced CEO and supervisory board member with a proven track record in leading international teams in the food/FMCG, agriculture, technology, and robotics sectors. He has a strong focus on strategy, sustainability, innovation, branding, and communication.
Since 2019, he has served as CEO and Chairman of the Executive Board at Lely. In addition, he is a member of the Supervisory Board at Bejo Zaden and has supervisory experience with other organizations such as DKG Groep.
The success of organizations is increasingly determined by the strength of their ecosystem. Companies that strategically leverage their network of partners, suppliers, and customers can innovate faster, respond more flexibly to market developments, and proactively meet societal expectations. Ecosystems thus form a powerful engine for technological progress, innovation, and sustainable growth.
In the agricultural sector, the importance of strong ecosystems is even greater. Through collaboration between farmers, technology partners, supply chain parties, and consumers, innovations such as precision farming, robotics, and data-driven management systems can be optimally applied. The result: higher productivity, improved animal welfare, and greater transparency toward the market.
An inspiring example is Lely, an international family business that is a global leader in agrotechnical innovations and robotics for the dairy farming industry. Thanks to a carefully built ecosystem of partners and customers, the company achieves operational efficiency, accelerates innovation, and strengthens the entire supply chain.
