Chief Information Officer | Digital Transformation & IT Governance
Vos-Koster Logistics
Dear Members of the Supervisory Board and Executive Search Committee,
I am writing to express my interest in the CIO position at Vos-Koster Logistics. With a career centered on enterprise technology leadership, digital modernization, and systems governance across complex European distribution networks, I welcome the opportunity to direct your organization's overarching IT strategy and digital infrastructure initiatives.
In my current position as Chief Information Officer at Veltman Logistics Group, I direct enterprise IT strategy, digital operations, and cybersecurity across 14 European distribution hubs serving 4,200 employees. During my tenure, I led a three-year core modernization program migrating legacy on-premises ERP systems to a hybrid cloud architecture, which reduced annual infrastructure operational expenses by 22%. Furthermore, I established an enterprise data governance framework and consolidated disparate regional transport management systems into a unified platform while rolling out ISO 27001-aligned controls across all subsidiaries.
Prior to this, as Director of Information Technology at Navitas Financial Services, I oversaw IT engineering, enterprise architecture, and operational risk management while managing an annual capital and operational budget of 28 million euros. My focus on architectural rigor and operational efficiency enabled our teams to deliver an enterprise-wide core banking API integration program that accelerated partner onboarding from six months to six weeks, while agile delivery practices reduced release cycle incidents by 35%. I look forward to applying this background in large-scale platform modernization, governance, and budget management to advance the strategic objectives of Vos-Koster Logistics.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my technology governance and enterprise architecture background align with your organizational goals.
Sincerely,
Jan-Willem van den Berg
