BANGKOK, 27 May 2019: Khiri Travel has named Herman Hoven as chief executive officer of Khiri Travel effective 1 July replacing Willem Niemeijer.
Hoven is currently general manager of Khiri Travel Indonesia. He will need to relocate to Bangkok to take up the new position.
CEO and founder, Willem Niemeijer, moves on to become chairman, a post that that has no operational responsibilities.
Retiring from the day-to-day running of the regional tour firm will allow him to concentrate on his CEO responsibilities at YAANA Ventures, Khiri’s parent company.
Also effective, 1 July, Keagan Willemsen assumes the role of chief financial officer for Khiri Travel.
Richard Brouwer will continue as the chief commercial officer of Khiri Travel, which was founded by Niemeijer in 1993 and now has over 200 staff in 17 offices in seven countries in Asia.
