Ireckonu, a prominent provider of middleware and customer data platform solutions for the hospitality sector, has announced a strategic enhancement of its leadership team. This move, aimed at bolstering the company's international growth, includes the appointment of three new Vice Presidents: Rik van Leeuwen as VP of Customer Operations, Çağri Kasapoğlu as VP of Customer Engineering, and Lauranne Schellekens as VP of Human Resources.

The appointments are part of Ireckonu's strategy to focus on customer operations, engineering execution, and people strategy as key drivers of scale. Van Leeuwen, previously Head of Data and Customer Success, will oversee Customer Success, Technical Business Architecture, and Project Management. Kasapoğlu, formerly Head of Strategy, will lead technical execution for onboarding and ongoing operations. Schellekens, who was Head of HR, will manage people strategy and organisational development.

Founder and CEO Jan Jaap van Roon stated, “As we enter a new phase of international growth, strengthening our leadership structure is both a natural and necessary step.” He emphasised the importance of a connected ecosystem for modern hospitality brands to scale personalisation and operational efficiency.

Ireckonu's growth is supported by partnerships with hotel groups like Mandarin Oriental and the opening of a new office in Singapore. The company will showcase its solutions at HITEC 2026 in June, where van Leeuwen will present on the importance of connected guest data. This leadership evolution underscores Ireckonu's commitment to advancing technology that unifies data and enhances guest experiences globally
