Chantal Roest
This is one iron-willed woman who immediately leaves a lasting impression. Smart, decisive, a real go-getter...but she’s no pleaser. She’s the kind of person who knows exactly what she’s doing, why she does it and where it’s going to take her. A woman who operates with the kind of confidence and determination that can only come from having years of experience within a number of big businesses. We’re talking about the one and only Chantal Roest: Vice President of Sales at KPN Public, Chairman of the Board for VNO NCW Vrouwennetwork (Women’s Network) and Chairman of the selection committee for Topvrouwen (Top executive women) Rotterdam Rijnmond.

We know her from
Chantal owes her personal development and that of her career to her experience in a variety of sectors. From setting up strategic recruitment between the forces and interests of 18 kingdoms, cultivating city-wide and national events, to improving the growth and performance of (inter)national organizations and divisions. These are all things she’s achieved in the last few years.
Chantal learned, absorbed, developed and grew by leaps and bounds. With all of that progress and talent, she was able to create space for some incredible professional positions. These include Vice president of Sales at KPN Public: her current occupation and one with which she aims to ensure that KPN Public evolves into a relevant service provider that puts the safety of Dutch society first and protects it from digital threats and other risks the 21st century poses to such a company. What an incredible job that must be to do. Chantal is a pretty remarkable person and someone to learn a lot from. A woman with vision, experience and so much more. So take a seat on April 23 - we promise you won’t regret it.
