Responsible for the curriculum of the programme is Prof. Dr. Frank Rozemeijer, Nevi Professor of Purchasing and Supply Chain Management at Maastricht University. Since 2013 he is responsible for shaping the international character of PLP. For instance, he has ensured that the English-language program is aligned with the MBA curriculum of Maastricht University to guarantee the desired level of quality of the program.
Alongside his research and teaching activities in Maastricht, Frank acts as a consultant for international companies. This places him in an excellent position to paint an integrated picture of the different disciplines within the PLP curriculum and translate that into required competences for procurement leaders in an international context.
