The role will see Alsemgeest report to LeasePlan CEO Tex Gunning and take on responsibility for moving LeasePlan to a data-driven business as part of the company’s ambition to deliver an ‘Any car, Anytime, Anywhere’ service to its customers.

This includes the development of new data-driven digital products and services, and follows the July opening of LeasePlan’s Amsterdam-based Digital Hub, which is focused on developing leasing products and services to meet changing mobility needs, including the ‘car-as-a-service’ trend.

Tex Gunning said: “We greatly value Michel’s digital leadership and expertise and we look forward to working with him as we move LeasePlan to a data-driven business.”For more of the latest industry news, click here.
