Gertjan 1 (1X1)

Gertjan de Ruiter, who lives in Zwolle, is a highly experienced specialised banker who grew up in an entrepreneurial family. With a master's degree in Management & Organisation from Tilburg University and a solid track record in the banking sector, he brings in-depth expertise in restructuring issues to Kruger. At Rabobank, he worked on complex client situations for many years. With his extensive experience in various executive and management positions, he has a keen eye for administrative dynamics, change processes and strategic decision-making.

Gertjan is characterised by his down-to-earth and pragmatic approach. He quickly gets to the heart of the matter and effortlessly connects with people. Not only by understanding the figures, but above all by having an eye for the person behind the company. This combination of analytical acumen, administrative experience and genuine interest makes him a reliable sparring partner for entrepreneurs, financiers and stakeholders.

His arrival strengthens Kruger's position in the north as a committed and decisive advisor in the field of restructuring and transformation.

"Every company has a unique story, shaped by choices, challenges and the people behind it. It is precisely this history and the motivations of entrepreneurs that fascinate me enormously. I believe that real impact is created when you not only understand the figures, but also invest in the relationship. Whether it's doing business in turbulent times, strategic issues or the sale of a business unit, I stand alongside the entrepreneur. Committed and with an eye for the bigger picture, I help provide direction in crucial phases where clarity and trust are essential."
