After more than 20 years as the driving force behind GPS-Buddy’s commercial growth, Desmond van Kooten is handing over the role of Chief Commercial Officer to Jonathan Maduro. A significant milestone in our journey – and a step that positions us for the next phase of growth.
From startup to established player with Desmond
Anyone who knows GPS-Buddy, knows Desmond. With his vision, persistence, and dedication, he has helped shape our company from a startup into a leading player in fleet and asset management. His impact can be felt in every part of our organization: from product development and customer relations to our strong position in the market.
Fortunately, Desmond will remain closely involved with GPS-Buddy. In his new role, he will focus on international expansion, an area where his experience, entrepreneurial spirit, and network are invaluable.
Ready for the next chapter with Jonathan
Looking ahead, Jonathan is taking over the role of Chief Commercial Officer for the Benelux. Jonathan brings a wealth of experience from the SaaS and technology sectors, having led commercial teams at several scale-ups. His mission is clear: optimize our Go-to-Market strategy, implement our Hardware as a Service proposition and improve internal processes and collaboration. With his fresh perspective, energy, and expertise, he is perfectly aligned with the phase GPS-Buddy is in today.
We are proud of how far we’ve come – and even more excited about where we are heading. With Desmond focusing on international growth and Jonathan strengthening our commercial direction in the Benelux, GPS-Buddy is stronger than ever.
Desmond and Jonathan: thank you for your dedication, and best of luck in your new roles!
