ORTEC's Chairman Aart van Beuzekom nominated for prestigious entrepreneur prize

Published on August 28, 2007

Managing director and majority shareholder Aart van Beuzekom has been nominated for one of the world’s most prestigious entrepreneur prizes awarded in the Netherlands, Entrepreneur of the Year 2007. This award was created by Ernst & Young. Together with 20 other talented entrepreneurs, Van Beuzekom will compete September 4 for a coveted place in the gala finale on October 6, 2007.

The winner will be chosen from the finalists, who is then automatically nominated for the title of best entrepreneur in the world- World Entrepreneur of the Year.

Performance achieved

Van Beuzekom was nominated due to his role in ORTEC’s performance achievements, including systematic growth of 20 percent a year, the developments of ORTEC in the international field, plus the transition that ORTEC experienced in its early years from an advisory organization focused on Operations Research models to an organization with advanced planning systems that are used around the globe. According to Aart van Beuzekom, the key to this success is, “seeing and seizing opportunities and making these successful. Not being afraid of making mistakes, but learning from them.”

Global player

“ORTEC is a unique company, based on high-tech mathematical models, with which we plan to conquer the logistical world”, according to the managing director. “We aim to be a global player in the field of advanced planning systems. We are already well on our way to achieving this by expanding our logistics activities in Europe and the United States. For the financial market we are now taking steps in Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Based on proven methodology, adapted to the wishes of pension funds, insurers, asset managers, as well as financial planners, housing corporations and municipalities, ORTEC Finance provides consultancy services and associated systems to customers all over the world.”

Successful entrepreneurs

This year marks the 13th consecutive year that The Entrepreneur of the Year will be awarded by Ernst & Young. The title is intended to put entrepreneurship in the spotlight and to track down and reward successful entrepreneurs. Ernst & Young organizes the program together with Fortis. They are assisted in this by the University of Nyenrode, the Netherlands Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Dutch Association of Venture Capital Companies (NVP – Nederlandse Vereniging van Participatiemaatschappijen), the Confederation of Netherlands Industry and Employers (VNO-NCW), and Het Financieele Dagblad newspaper.
