Maarten Zoomers, outgoing CEO and incoming Supervisory Board member: six years building a mature platform
Zoomers has been with Temper since 2020 and has helped build the company across several roles. He began as Head of Strategy & Operations, later held the combined role of COO and CCO, and became CEO in 2024. Over these six years, Temper grew into a mature platform, expanded into the United Kingdom, and strengthened its role as a partner in the labour-market debate. The company also broadened its technological foundation into a scalable multi-model platform that supports various forms of flexible work. From his new role on the Supervisory Board, Zoomers will remain involved in the platform's long-term development.
In their own words: the next chapter
Matthijs Tetteroo, incoming CEO: "Temper has built a unique platform position over recent years in a labour market that is changing fundamentally. A great deal of important pioneering work has gone into that, led by Maarten and the Temper team. The engine has been built and is ready to shift into top gear. What appeals to me is the mission: giving workers more control over how they combine work and life, and giving businesses the agility to respond - with a scalable platform that is on 24/7 and offers full transparency to all users."
Maarten Zoomers, outgoing CEO and incoming supervisory board member: "Temper was built on the conviction that work can fit better around people's lives. That conviction is more relevant today than ever. I'm proud of what the team has built over the past years, and I have great confidence in Matthijs as the leader for the next phase. From the Supervisory Board, I will remain closely involved in Temper's long-term direction."
Daan Sanders, chair of the Supervisory Board: "With Matthijs's appointment, we strengthen Temper for its next phase of sustainable growth. He brings the experience and sharpness that fit Temper as a mature platform organisation with international ambitions. At the same time, we're pleased that Maarten remains involved through the Supervisory Board, keeping his entrepreneurship and knowledge available to the organisation."
