Ilja Kempenaars
B.Eng.
Managing Director
ATIM
After graduating with a degree in Industrial Engineering and Management, Ilja began her professional journey in the world of IT consultancy. This experience laid the foundation for her problem-solving mindset and her ability to navigate complex systems. However, her true passion for logistics and operations led her to join ATIM in 2012—a pivotal moment in her career.
Over the years, she honed her expertise in Supply Chain, embracing the challenges of its ever-changing landscape. Her leadership skills and dedication to fostering strong partnerships didn’t go unnoticed, and in 2019, she proudly took over the reins of ATIM as its owner. Under her guidance, the company has continued to grow, focusing on delivering innovative solutions and building lasting relationships with partners and clients.
Known for her “just do it” philosophy, Ilja approaches challenges with respect, honesty, and professionalism. Whether she’s strategizing in silence or collaborating with her team, she’s committed to turning obstacles into opportunities.
Outside of work, she is a proud mother of three, balancing family life with moments of social connection. Friends and colleagues often describe her as social, empathetic, and easy-going, traits that make her a natural leader and trusted partner.
Her mission is simple yet powerful: Developing competencies in people and organizations, build meaningful connections, and leave a positive impact in both her professional and personal circles.
