CEO

In his 30 years in real estate management, finance, investments and he has developed into a leading expert in strategic real estate management.
In 2008, he founded his own company Corporate Real Estate Management. Since then, he has been helping organisations strategically manage their real estate portfolio as a consultant or interim manager.
Commercial and social property
He not only helps companies with their real estate management, but also organizations in the social domain, such as the government, housing corporations, educational institutions and healthcare organizations.
For example, he worked for almost two years as Head of Real Estate (a.i.) at the Municipality of Rotterdam, where he managed a real estate portfolio of 3,500 properties (value over €4 billion).
At another organization, a merger of three municipalities, he rearranged the real estate portfolio to match the new reality, while he also valued and advised on the real estate portfolio annually for companies such as supermarket company Jumbo and Ziengs Investments.
More similarities than differences
Jan Veuger soon noticed that strategic property management for companies is different from that for organizations. The differences are mainly in the managerial or political angle at non-profit organizations. What strikes him most, however, is that both have many similarities: "The objective remains the same. Only the approach and implementation are seen from a different perspective.“
In 2012, just 4 years after founding his own company, he became (part-time) lecturer in Social Real Estate at Hanze University of Applied Sciences Groningen. He held this position for more than seven years. From this role, he contributed to the knowledge surrounding the strategic management of social real estate and had the opportunity to conduct his own research.
With the rise of blockchain, Jan Veuger sees opportunities to digitize processes in real estate. For data management, financing issues and insurance, blockchain offers great opportunities in his eyes. Since then, his research has also focused on the impact of blockchain and questions such as who owns data, how to divide responsibilities and how to measure certain things.
