Aertssen Group has announced a significant leadership transition as Yves Aertssen officially takes over the role of CEO, succeeding his father, Greg Aertssen. This marks an important milestone for the family-run company, known for its strong leadership, long-term vision, and commitment to teamwork.
Having served as Co-CEO since 2018, Yves Aertssen has worked closely with Greg to ensure a smooth transition. With a deep sense of responsibility and gratitude, he is set to drive the company’s continued growth, diversification, and international expansion—an endeavor made possible by the dedication and passion of the Aertssen team.
“Leading a company is never a solo effort. Especially in a family business, it is essential to make decisions together and build on a strong foundation. As the third generation, we have great respect for the work of those who came before us, and we are committed to passing on Aertssen Group in an even stronger position for the future,” said Yves Aertssen, CEO of Aertssen Group. “My father, along with my uncles Raf and Luc Aertssen and my aunt Saskia Aertssen, remains closely involved in the company. Their insights and experience are of immense value.”
Aertssen Group extends its deep appreciation to Greg Aertssen for his invaluable leadership. In his new role as Executive Chairman of the Board, he will continue to mentor and support the CEO and management team, play an active role in key strategic decisions, and represent the company externally.
