Marginpar appoints Maarten Goos as new CEO
Effective January 1, 2026
We are pleased to announce the appointment of Maarten Goos as our new Chief Executive Officer (CEO), effective January 1, 2026.
With a distinguished background in the international flower industry, Maarten brings extensive leadership experience and a passion for sustainable innovation. As former Managing Director of Royal Van Zanten, he successfully combined strategic vision and entrepreneurship with a focus on innovation, collaboration, and sustainable growth — values that align closely with Marginpar’s mission and culture.
A leader aligned with Marginpar’s vision
“We are delighted to welcome Maarten to Marginpar,” states the Board. “Throughout the recruitment process, we looked for a leader who not only brings expertise and experience, but who truly understands and embraces our values. Maarten’s approach to leadership and his track record in floriculture reflect exactly that. We are confident he will guide Marginpar into its next phase of growth.”
As CEO, Maarten will lead Marginpar’s next chapter of development — focusing on strengthening the global flower supply chain, driving sustainable floriculture practices, and deepening collaboration within teams and with partners around the world.
Strategic focus for the coming years
In his new role, Maarten will concentrate on three key priorities:
- Strengthening supply chain and market position across all operating regions
- Driving innovation and sustainable growth within the floriculture industry
- Enhancing collaboration within teams and with Marginpar’s strategic partners
In the months leading up to his official start, Maarten will work closely with the current leadership team to ensure a smooth transition and a strong start to the new year. This period will allow him to engage with the people and teams who are at the heart of Marginpar’s success.
Looking ahead
“Marginpar is a company with a strong purpose and a remarkable culture,” said Maarten Goos. “I am honoured to join such a passionate and forward-thinking team. Together, we will continue to build on Marginpar’s legacy of innovation, sustainability, and partnership in the international flower industry.”
The Board warmly welcomes Maarten to the Marginpar family and looks forward to the energy, expertise, and fresh perspective he will bring as the company continues to grow and innovate in the years ahead.
