Peter Wennink elected new chair Heineken (OTC: HEINY) after ASML tenure

Heineken NV (OTC: HEINY) has announced the appointment of Peter Wennink as its new chairman. Wennink, the former CEO of ASML Holding NV (AS: ASML), will take over the role in April, succeeding Jean-Marc Huet. He currently serves as the vice-chair of Heineken (AS: HEIN)’s supervisory board.

The Dutch brewing giant highlighted Wennink’s significant experience, which includes steering ASML to become the leading producer of advanced chipmaking machinery and the most valuable tech company in Europe.

Wennink’s leadership transformed ASML from a relatively unknown entity into a prominent technology powerhouse. He transitioned leadership to Christophe Fouquet, who was the chief business officer, earlier this year.
