Igor van Hooff will take up office at Design Academy Eindhoven in mid-March 2011 and will become a member of the Executive Board.

He will be the person on the Executive Board in charge of operational affairs. Chair of the Board Anne Mieke Eggenkamp will be focussing more explicitly on education, internationalisation and external relations. Igor van Hooff is currently active as regional director at Randstad.

Anne Mieke Eggenkamp is delighted with the arrival of the new director: “To be a Çentre of Excellence in design education, and to continue to be one, we must strive for excellence in our operational processes as well. The academy has now opted for an expert in this field, who can help us reach a sustainable balance between quality, people, and resources.”
