Björn takes the place of Richard Heijnsbroek, who started his new role as managing director of Business Lease Poland on August 1 2012. Van den Berg has held high-level international positions at General Electric for many years.

‘It is a fantastic next step and, in the current market, a beautiful challenge to continue and further expand the activities of Business Lease Slovakia,’ Van den Berg said.

Business Lease started in 1998 as a pioneer in the Central European country and currently occupies the third place in that market measured by size.
