Holland Casino has appointed Hans van Slooten as its new Director of Operations, effective October 1. Van Slooten, who has served as Regional Casino Manager in the Northeast region for the past three years, brings a wealth of experience from previous roles at KLM, Sligro, and FrieslandCampina to the role.
Van Slooten will succeed Noël Leise, who has been with Holland Casino for 39 years. Leise’s extensive career at the company began as a croupier and saw him rise through the ranks to become Casino Manager at various locations, Regional Director, Chief Operations Officer, and most recently, Director of Operations for the Southeast region. Leise will remain with Holland Casino until July 1, 2025, to oversee strategic projects.
Petra de Ruiter, CEO of Holland Casino, said: “With Hans, we have found a worthy internal successor to Noël as Director of Operations. Hans has a lot of experience both inside and outside Holland Casino. His strength is that he is close to the people, both our guests and our employees. I am extremely grateful to Noël for his years of dedication and commitment to Holland Casino.”
Van Slooten commented on his new role: “It is a great honor to succeed Noël. I have great respect for his wonderful career, his commitment, and his inexhaustible drive for our beautiful company. Although it will not always be easy to follow in his footsteps, I will take on my responsibilities with and for the operation with dedication. I look forward to meeting more colleagues in the branches and at the head office from October.”
Leise reflected on his long tenure with the company: “When you have worked for a great company like ours for almost 40 years, it is difficult to choose the right moment to pass the baton. After all, Holland Casino is such a part of my life that it cannot help but hurt a little. I am happy that I can still be meaningful for the future of our company in a different way in the coming period. I have every confidence that Hans will fill the role of Director of Operations very well in his own way and I wish him every success with that.”
