In addition to managing iO Campus Amsterdam, Arnoud Martens will lead the iO campuses in Rotterdam and Utrecht. 

Blended agency iO has appointed Arnoud Martens as the new Managing Director of campus Amsterdam, with overarching responsibility for the iO campuses in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Utrecht. With his strong personality and years of experience in the digital sector, Arnoud is the perfect choice to lead these locations successfully.  

Arnoud Martens brings an impressive CV to the table, with leadership positions in technology and innovation. In addition to his role as managing director of the Amsterdam campus, he will lead the iO campuses in Utrecht and Rotterdam. 

Leadership in his DNA 

Leading three large campuses to more growth and success that's what Martens is all about. Before joining iO, he gained a wealth of experience in managerial positions. In the digital world, he has a solid track record, too. For example, he was Group Director Europe, Managing Director and COO at Valtech Netherlands, and he held management roles at Mirabeau and eFocus. In addition, Arnoud has held various leading advisory and investment roles, including as a member of the Advisory Board at Grabowsky and as co-owner of 3T Vastgoed. 

"I am very happy to be working with colleagues at the iO campuses in the Randstad area. You can just feel the energy and drive here. I strongly believe in iO's blended approach: it is inspiring to see the enthusiasm and how our experts from different disciplines connect, and how iO comes up with new service formulas to work with its customers. This not only offers opportunities for us, but also for our customers. The digital world is still enjoying enormous changes, and that is precisely what attracts me to this role. It's a challenge I'm happy to take on; I look forward to achieving great results together." 

People person with a technological affinity 

Arnoud is known for his talent for helping people and organisations achieve their ambitions, with a strong focus on the balance between people, business operations and technology. 

"We are very happy to welcome Arnoud," says Pieter Janssen, CEO of iO. "He has a passion for customer-oriented work and provides services that really make a difference. With his deep knowledge of technology and innovation, and his experience in running an agency, he is the ideal addition to our blended agency."
