Prof. Dr. Annemieke Roobeek

Annemieke Roobeek is driven by an open mind for renewal and entrepreneurship.

BLU is her newest enterprise where she turns her network concepts into real-time turnover.

Drs. Toon van Bodegom

Drs. Toon van Bodegom is fascinated by technological developments and the opportunities that subsequently arise for both the entrepreneur and the consumer. Existing markets converge and new markets evolve. Innovative business propositions create changes that influence the identity of people and that lead to a constant metamorphosis of daily life. Nowadays, consumers are informed better and can therefore also make better choices themselves. As a result, they can influence and steer the market, stimulating technology to continuously take steps further.

With a focus on Business and IT, Toon van Bodegom has led various advice organisations. As director he was also responsible for innovations. He is driven as entrepreneur to let companies grow in their core competences and he advises the leadership of enterprises in their growth strategy. He leads strategic change processes and is active in business acquisitions. Besides his participation in BLU, Toon van Bodegom is also founding partner of the Numa Group.
