Hef Wonen director Marieke Kolsteeg receives 95% of maximum salary
Marieke Kolsteeg, director of the housing corporation Hef Wonen, earns 95% of the maximum allowable income for board chairs of housing corporations in the Netherlands. According to the 2025 annual accounts, her salary is approximately 14,500 euros lower than the maximum threshold.
While directors at other major Rotterdam-based corporations—Woonstad Rotterdam, Havensteder, and Woonbron—receive the full maximum amount, Hef Wonen's leadership, including its Supervisory Board, also receives 5% less than the cap. This decision is viewed as a potential signal regarding the high level of executive compensation within the Dutch housing sector.
Hef Wonen declined to provide a substantive response to inquiries regarding the reasoning behind this compensation structure.
