Skretting welcomes Maarten Bijl as its new CEO. He succeeds Bastiaan van Tilburg, who will also be taking on a new role as CEO at parent company Nutreco.

Maarten joined Nutreco in 2021 as managing director for Trouw Nutrition North America. Since June 2024, he has been Nutreco’s chief digital officer and a member of the Management Board. During this time, he led a digital transformation across the Nutreco organization, developing a digitally enabled business model to accelerate growth within Skretting and Trouw Nutrition. He also worked closely with the Skretting and Trouw Nutrition digital innovation teams to meet customer needs by successfully applying new technology and data insights.

“I am greatly honoured to have the opportunity to lead and support the Skretting team. Over the past 4.5 years at Nutreco, I’ve come to know the Skretting business well through numerous positive interactions with our employees and customers. The Skretting brand stands out for its continuous innovation, its focus on people and partnerships, and its commitment to making the industry more sustainable. I look forward to continuing to work with our teams and customers around the world as we strive to be the number one nutritional solutions provider within aquaculture,” said Maarten.

Prior to joining Nutreco, Maarten spent 12 years with its parent company SHV, in different strategy, commercial management, and regional general management roles in Europe and Asia. He has also held global commercial and corporate strategy roles in TNT NV (now FedEx).

“I am very thankful to the Skretting team for the progress we’ve made together and happy that we have strong, internal succession in place with Maarten,” says Bastiaan. “The change in leadership does not reflect a change in strategy, and Skretting customers and partners everywhere can expect continuity and the same spirit of dedication, service, and collaboration.”
