In deze nieuwe rol is ze van plan om Nederlandse ondernemers beter te ondersteunen bij hun internationale zakelijke ondernemingen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ze wil zich de komende jaren sterk maken om Nederlandse ondernemers beter te helpen bij het zakendoen in het buitenland. \u201cDat is goed en belangrijk voor onze concurrentiepositie in deze tijden van economische en geopolitieke onzekerheid,\u201d zegt Maas Geesteranus. \u201cNederlandse bedrijven lopen voorop in waterbeheer, duurzame landbouw, medische technologie en de energietransitie. Ze hebben alles in huis om wereldwijd het verschil te maken. Maar dan moeten we ze wel de ruimte en ondersteuning geven om te groeien.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Melanie is geen onbekende in de publieke en private sector, waardoor ze zeer geschikt is om Invest International de komende jaren te leiden. Ze was eerder minister van Infrastructuur en Milieu, staatssecretaris van Verkeer en Waterstaat en directeur healthcare procurement bij Achmea. Tot voor kort was ze CEO van Porticus, een internationale filantropische organisatie. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\"Nederlandse ondernemers hebben alles in huis om wereldwijd het verschil te maken.

Haar brede internationale ervaring in zowel publieke als private sectoren geeft ons het vertrouwen dat zij een waardevolle bijdrage zal leveren aan het versterken van onze kapitaalpositie en het vergroten van onze investeringscapaciteit.
