Harold Goddijn has been nominated to join the Supervisory Board following the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on 16 April 2026.

A natural next chapter

Harold Goddijn co-founded TomTom in 1991 and has led the company from 2001 onward, growing it from a start-up into a global location technology business.

"Building and leading TomTom has been the privilege of my professional life," said Harold. "We have built a company with deep technology, strong customer relationships, and extraordinary people. The time is right for the next phase of leadership. As the architect of our global commercial organization, Mike is uniquely positioned to lead the company forward. I am certain that under his leadership the company will continue to prosper."

Proven leadership and deep company knowledge

Mike Schoofs joined TomTom in 2005 and has served as Chief Revenue Officer since 2023. In that role, he built and led the company's global sales and commercial organization, expanded strategic partnerships, and developed long-term customer relationships across key segments: automotive, enterprise, and platform partners.

Mike Schoofs commented: "TomTom has built a differentiated technology platform and strong customer relationships. My focus will be on disciplined execution, scaling our automotive and enterprise businesses, and delivering long-term value for customers and shareholders".


Derk Haank, Chairman of the Supervisory Board: "I want to express our deep appreciation to Harold and Alain for their extraordinary entrepreneurship over more than thirty-five years. They built businesses from start-ups into a global leader in location technology, guiding the company through multiple profound transitions, from consumer navigation to automotive partnerships, platform technology, and today's AI-driven mapping technology. Thanks to their vision, TomTom now stands on a strong foundation, with a simplified product portfolio, a modern technology stack, and a talented leadership team ready to lead the company into its next chapter of growth. We are pleased that Harold wishes to remain involved and intends to join the Supervisory Board."
