After 25 years of service at the KWPN, Charlotte Dekker has decided to step down from her role as Head of Marketing & Communication as of October 1, 2025, and will continue her career as an independent professional.

Charlotte began her career at the KWPN in 2000, after having already been involved for some time as a freelance contributor to the association’s magazine In de Strengen. In the years that followed, she played a central role in the association’s communication and marketing efforts, dedicating herself with great enthusiasm to promoting the KWPN horse and keeping members well-informed.

“I have truly enjoyed my time at the KWPN. Over the years, I’ve experienced many wonderful moments, learned a great deal, and had the pleasure of working with so many fantastic people – both within and outside the organization. My passion for the KWPN horse runs deep, and it has been a privilege to contribute to its promotion and to keeping our members informed. That sense of commitment is still very strong, so this decision has certainly not been an easy one. At the same time, I’ve reached a point where I’d like to give more space to other ambitions, such as moderating events, hosting, writing, and communications projects. I’m very much looking forward to applying my creativity and experience in those areas. As a breeder, owner, and member, I’ll of course remain closely connected to our wonderful association – and perhaps in other ways as well. I’m grateful for the trust and collaboration throughout all these years,” Charlotte said.

KWPN Managing Director Roelof Bos: “The coming period will be used to ensure a smooth handover of current projects. We thank Charlotte for her many years of professional dedication and wish her every success in this new chapter.”
