UTRECHT, 4 March 2026 – Envalue has appointed Frank van Kester as Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) with effect from 1 April 2026. This move marks the start of a new phase of growth, in which commercial strength and market expansion are key priorities. Envalue has once again opted for leadership from within.
Focus on synergy and innovation
Frank has been with Envalue since its inception and played a key role in developing the valuation team. Over the past six years, he has worked with Mike Rutgers to develop this team into a fully-fledged service line. In his new role, he is shifting his focus from valuation to product development, strengthening the synergy between the service lines and driving innovation across the organisation as a whole.
Innovation and synergy go hand in hand and aim to provide clients with comprehensive advice across the full spectrum of our services. “For me, this feels like a logical step,” says Frank van Kester. “By intelligently linking our services and data, we can serve clients even better and bring new innovative products to market.” The combination of data and in-house developed technology enables Envalue to further expand its proposition in the coming years.
Commercial direction and international ambitions
As CCO, Frank sets the direction for Envalue’s commercial strategy and international ambitions. He also leads HR, marketing and the support team. Jan Verhaegh, CEO of Envalue: “Frank has helped build Envalue from the very beginning. He knows our culture, our clients and our ambitions like no other. With his strategic insight and entrepreneurial spirit, he is the right person to shape our commercial direction. This appointment fits in with Envalue’s development and with his personal ambitions.”
Investing in the future
With more than 50 professionals, Envalue is building a forward-looking organisation. “We have laid a solid foundation,” adds Jan Verhaegh. “Now it is time to move into the next phase.”
