Isabel Keulen transitions to new role as Advisor to SSE Business Lab and SSE Ventures

As of September 2026, Isabel Keulen has decided to transition from her role as CEO to a new role as Advisor.

Isabel will remain in her current position as CEO until September to ensure a stable and orderly transition. She will then move into her new role as Advisor. The recruitment process for a new CEO has been initiated, with the ambition of having a successor in place by early fall 2026.

We are deeply grateful for Isabel’s leadership and commitment. She has played a pivotal role in taking both SSE Business Lab and SSE Ventures to the next level. Thanks to her efforts, the organization is in a strong position today, with high activity across both the incubator and investment operations. We have a high-quality portfolio, a growing platform, and a clear role within the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

We are also very pleased that we will continue to benefit from Isabel’s experience, expertise, and engagement in her new role as Advisor. This ensures continuity for the team, portfolio companies, and our partners.
