Heske Groenendaal, Metaglas B.V., www.metaglas.nl

After gaining a BA in Chemical Engineering and a Masters in Economics, Heske developed herself in industrial marketing. In 1999 she and her husband took over Metaglas from her father. Social involvement is important to her, which is why Metaglas is offering (young) disabled people, long-term unemployed, women returners and school leavers a platform to get the best out of themselves by giving them a job, education or traineeship. To support female entrepreneurship, Heske is on the advisory board of Sisterhood in Business. She has served as a city councillor in Tiel and is currently a commissioner at the Rabobank West Betuwe.

Congratulations Heske!
