Maria Molenaar has over 30 years of experience as a director and supervisor in real estate, healthcare, and various organizations in the private sector and the international business community. For the past 10 years, she headed the Board of Directors of Woonstad Rotterdam.

The retail fund offers stable returns by investing in the convenience offered by neighborhood shopping centers and supermarkets. I look forward to using my knowledge and experience to help further Altera’s development and to unite the interests of the shareholders and other stakeholders with that aim.”
