About Bernardus Kleinherenbrink

Bernardus “Berno” Kleinherenbrink is currently a senior executive at Ayvens, where he serves as Deputy Chief Executive Officer and Group Regional Director for the Baltics, Nordics, Benelux, DACH, Asia-Pacific and Spain. This is a major governance and regional leadership role within the company, placing him at the center of Ayvens’ international commercial execution and market coordination. In practice, his remit spans several strategically important geographies and links corporate strategy with regional performance and transformation. His career is rooted in the automotive, leasing and mobility sectors. According to Ayvens, he began his professional journey in positions at Amoco Oil Corporation in the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland before joining LeasePlan Netherlands as Managing Director. In 2016, he was appointed Chief Commercial Officer at LeasePlan, and he also served as Cluster Director for Belgium, Germany, France, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. This progression reflects a steady rise through increasingly broad operational and commercial responsibilities, first at country level and then across multiple European markets. Kleinherenbrink is especially associated with the transition to electric vehicles. Ayvens notes that he led LeasePlan’s commercial strategy on EV adoption after the company became a founding member of EV100 in 2017. That experience positions him as a specialist in fleet electrification, decarbonization and the practical shift of corporate mobility toward lower-emission solutions. His expertise is therefore closely aligned with Ayvens’ positioning as a global sustainable mobility player. He holds a bachelor’s degree from Nyenrode Business University and an MBA from Rotterdam School of Management. Overall, his profile combines international operating experience, commercial leadership and strong familiarity with fleet management and mobility transition topics. He is the type of executive typically associated with scaling regional businesses, steering cross-border teams and supporting long-term strategic change in a highly competitive sector.
