Mariëtte van Wessem

Connecting people and purpose
Mariëtte works in sectors shaped by innovation, international value chains and major transitions. She focuses on Industry & Automotive, Logistics & Supply Chain, Energy and Technology. She is also familiar with the dynamics of family‑owned businesses and private‑equity‑backed organisations, where long‑term value and the ability to drive change are often closely intertwined.
Her experience in building management teams that enter new markets and guide organisations through growth and professionalisation forms the foundation of her approach. She immerses herself in context, listens attentively and explores what leadership requires in a specific phase and culture. For her, humanity, purpose and strategy are always inseparable.

“I enjoy making matches that truly matter. For the candidate as well as for the organisation.”

Valuable perspectives in the boardroom
Before joining Maes & Lunau, Mariëtte spent nine years developing regional ecosystems at JINC and led teams at Randstad. In those roles she worked closely with a wide variety of organisations, from industrial companies and supermarkets to hospitals, municipalities and social initiatives. This breadth enables her to understand different cultures and weigh interests with care.
Mariëtte is curious, proactive and driven by societal value creation. She looks for leaders who provide direction and build an inclusive culture. Matches are most meaningful to her when they contribute to both strategic progress and human development.
She believes in the power of genuine dialogue, clear choices and a healthy balance. With that conviction, she supports organisations in placing the right people in the right roles and in strengthening leadership for the future.
