Hidde van Seggelen, Chairman of TEFAF’s Executive Committee: “As we are going through very serious global changes, the implications for the Art World are as challenging as many of the other aspects of our lives at present. In face of these developments TEFAF makes the important announcement that our current CFO, Charlotte van Leerdam will be taking on the additional responsibility of TEFAF’s Managing Director. Charlotte has a proven track record in strategy and business development and has become a valuable asset to our organization. We are pleased she will be stepping into her expanded role immediately. Our current interim Managing Director, Sofie Scheerlinck will be leaving the organization but will continue to spearhead the new TEFAF Online initiative until November 2020. I am very grateful to Sofie for her commitment and contributions to TEFAF.”
