Stephane Holvoet

Stephane describes himself as a "plain vanilla marathon runner". He has run 13 marathons (city and nature) since 2003 and his best memory is running the Connemara Marathon in Ireland. Antarctica will be his toughest challenge so far. The 58-year-old father of three was CEO of Amsterdam Commodities, a publicly quoted (Amsterdam) worldwide producer and distributor of tropical food ingredients from 1987-2013. Stephane has also been a serial private equity investor in software startups, rubber plantations (Liberia) and food manufacturers, among others.
