Dutch turbine Independent Service Provider Iver has named John van Soest as its new managing director. With a background in the military and executive roles at Vopak and Alkion Terminals, van Soest brings valuable leadership experience to the company.
“I feel a strong connection with Iver due to my passion for technology and my experience in the energy sector,” van Soest stated. He added, “I started as a maintenance engineer for military aircraft at Defensie and, over the years, have learned at different companies how to manage operational, commercial, and technical teams, as well as how to improve work processes. This experience perfectly aligns with the phase that Iver is currently in.”
Iver noted that under van Soest's leadership, the company aims to expand its services internationally and further strengthen its position in the wind turbine sector. “In the coming years, this service portfolio will be further optimised to provide even better support for customers in maintaining their wind turbines,” the company stated.
Van Soest also expressed gratitude for the team, saying, “I greatly appreciate the work of the service engineers, project managers, and all the colleagues behind the scenes. They ensure that Iver keeps running every day. The wind industry is the future, and we, as Iver, play a significant role in it.”
