Ivo Frielink and Ali Bouchrit have recently joined IFFR’s Supervisory Board, where they will oversee and advise the Board of Directors and the organisation as a whole. Together, they bring extensive expertise in finance and organisational development, further strengthening the Supervisory Board alongside existing members Korrie Louwes (Chair), Pieter Guldemond, Nicky Koopman, Sacha Polak and Joram Willink. In addition, Ivo will chair the Audit and Finance Sub Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are delighted to welcome Ivo Frielink and Ali Bouchrit to our Supervisory Board. With his distinguished financial experience, extensive network and perspective as a Rotterdammer<\/em>, Ivo is a valuable addition to IFFR. As Chair of the Audit Committee, he will play an important role within the Supervisory Board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ali, meanwhile, brings extensive experience as a board member within Rotterdam\u2019s cultural sector. His broad management and marketing expertise, many years of experience as a banker and extensive national network make him a highly valuable addition to the Supervisory Board. As a resident of the Rotterdam region, he is also very familiar with the city and its cultural landscape.\u201d \u2013 Korrie Louwes, Chair of the Supervisory Board<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the appointment of our new Supervisory Board members, we also bid farewell to Anoesjka Imambaks, who has served on the Supervisory Board and its Audit Committee since 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are very grateful to Anoesjka for all those years of dedicated work on the IFFR Supervisory Board, during which she devoted herself both to the organisation and to strengthening Rotterdam\u2019s network.\u201d \u2013 Korrie Louwes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ivo Frielink is Global Head of Sales & Marketing and a member of the Executive Committee at Robeco, an international asset manager. He brings extensive experience in governance, strategy and financial oversight within complex, international organisations. Alongside his executive role, he has been active in supervisory positions, with a strong focus on strengthening resilience and long-term value creation. With his roots in Rotterdam he is committed to supporting the continued development of IFFR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIFFR plays a unique role as an international platform for innovative cinema and emerging talent. I look forward to contributing, from a supervisory perspective, to a strong and future-proof organisation that can continue to deliver on this mission.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ali Bouchrit brings extensive experience in governance, supervision and entrepreneurship. He is an entrepreneur and partner at BouchritDenOuden & Partners, where he advises organisations on governance, strategy and organisational development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before founding his own business, Ali held a number of senior leadership positions at ING and ABN AMRO. Alongside his entrepreneurial activities, he serves in a range of supervisory and board roles across both the corporate and cultural sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawing on his broad governance expertise, experience in financial and business services, affinity with the media sector, and extensive professional network, Ali has a strong ability to connect organisations and leaders while approaching strategic challenges from multiple perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIFFR is a leading international film festival that has provided a platform for new perspectives, creativity and social dialogue for decades. It is precisely this combination of cultural significance and international reach that appeals to me. I look forward to contributing to the festival\u2019s continued development through my experience in governance, and to working alongside my fellow Supervisory Board members and the organisation to help shape a resilient future for IFFR.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t
