Harm Goossens new General Director of the Dutch Red Cross

Leadership, persuasiveness and connecting force for the Dutch Red Cross

The Dutch Red Cross was looking for an enthusiastic and experienced director who knows how to perpetuate and further develop the success and growth of the Red Cross.

Heleen Kersten, chairman of the Red Cross: “Due to the corona crisis, emergency shelter and food aid, the Red Cross has also become increasingly visible in the Netherlands. With Harm we get an extremely motivated and driven director, who can bring peace to the Red Cross after intensive years. We got to know him as very committed and approachable to employees and volunteers. We look forward to his arrival and the wealth of experience he brings, which will be of great value to the Red Cross in the years to come.”

Harm: “The Red Cross is a global movement that really makes a difference in the world with the help of countless volunteers. I am honored that I can lead this wonderful organization in the Netherlands in the coming years and help this humanitarian organization further.”

Harm is extremely motivated for this role at the Red Cross. The strong leadership he offers, in combination with his extensive managerial experience, his strategic skills, implementation strength, his drive to make a social impact and his engaging and energetic personality make him very suitable for this role.
