Optimizing Operations,
Freeing You to Lead

Our Story

Qinnip was founded on a simple belief: better supply chains create better business. From the start in Amsterdam in 2017, our founders focused on solving real problems where strategy met the warehouse floor, fixing replenishment models, stabilizing production schedules, and untangling complex networks.​

That hands-on approach still defines us, but today it is paired with global reach and deep technology expertise. With offices across Europe, New Zealand, and beyond, our 50+ specialists help clients turn plans into measurable, lasting results.​

We have grown by staying close to client needs and delivering impact that lasts, making supply chains not just functional but truly frictionless.

Meet the Minds Behind the Vision

At Supply Chain Company, leadership means more than oversight. It means setting a high bar for impact, culture, and clarity. Our leaders actively contribute to client projects, mentor teams, and drive innovation across regions.

Henk Jan Rijkse – Co-Founder

Henk Jan is our strategic compass. With two decades of experience in agrifood supply chains and a background in operations, he knows what it means to deliver under pressure. He balances ambition with practicality and ensures we stay close to our roots—client-first, team-led, and impact-obsessed.

​ Olav Pannenborg – CEO

Appointed in October 2024, Olav brings a global perspective shaped by years of executive experience in supply chain transformation. His focus is growth—with purpose. Since taking the helm, he has expanded our regional footprint, invested in delivery capabilities, and sharpened our focus on long-term client value.

Our leadership team includes regional and delivery leads across our offices. Each of them is expected to challenge assumptions, build capacity, and drive execution-not just in words, but in deliverables.

Guided By Values, Driven By Purpose

Our culture rewards ownership, curiosity, and collaboration. We share knowledge freely, celebrate progress, and own our mistakes. And when things change-as they always do in supply chains we adapt fast, together.

We also believe that culture isn’t something we declare; it’s something we practice. From onboarding to retrospectives, from hiring to leadership development, we embed our values into everything we do.

Excellence in Action

We set the bar high, delivering measurable impact and quality in everything we do.​

Challenge Accepted

Where others see obstacles, we see solutions. No challenge is too complex.​

Care at the Core

We build trust by putting people and sustainability at the heart of what we do.

Driven by Ownership

We take responsibility — for our actions, decisions, and delivering real outcomes.​
