Lexar kondigt met enthousiasme aan dat Peter Broekroelofs per 1 oktober 2025 is toegetreden als Chief Technology Officer (CTO).

Met meer dan 30 jaar ervaring vervulde Peter CTO-functies bij zowel ondernemende start- en scale-ups zoals NET2GRID als bij grotere, vaak PE-backed bedrijven zoals Dynniq en Otravo. Als medeoprichter van twee ondernemingen, waaronder een AI-startup in de zorg, brengt hij bovendien het perspectief van een ondernemer mee: wendbaarheid gecombineerd met het vermogen om complexe, internationale omgevingen te navigeren.

Deze brede ervaring maakt Peter tot meer dan “alleen” een technoloog. Hij koppelt diepgaande technische expertise aan sterk leiderschap, visie en een mensgerichte aanpak. Hij weet hoe je digitale producten en diensten opbouwt en opschaalt, teams laat floreren en koppelt de technologie aan go-to-market strategieën, pricing en commerciële uitvoering. Kortom: Peter ziet het volledige speelveld van technologie gedreven groei.

Bij Lexar zet Peter zijn ervaring in om de technologische koers verder vorm te geven en te versterken. Hij beoordeelt tijdens due diligence de technologie van nieuwe investeringen, ondersteunt portfoliobedrijven bij waardecreatie en bouwt verder aan Lexar’s eigen technologische fundament. Met zijn visie, brede ervaring en mensgericht leiderschap speelt hij een sleutelrol in de volgende groeifase van Lexar.

Buiten het kantoor is Peter een gedreven triatleet: hét bewijs dat hij het uithoudingsvermogen heeft om ver te gaan, in sport én in technologie. Met zijn mix van technische diepgang, strategische visie en mensgericht leiderschap is hij een waardevolle toevoeging voor Lexar en onze missie om duurzame digitale groei te realiseren.
