Cor Boonstra

Cor Boonstra (Leeuwarden, 7 January 1938) is a retired Dutch businessman and chief executive, mainly known as president of the Board of Directors of Philips (1996–2001).

Two years after his commencement of employment with Philips, Boonstra became the successor of Timmer as the president of the board of directors.

During his leadership he moved the head office (the top 350 employees) of Philips from Eindhoven to Amsterdam, the capital of the country.

[5] Boonstra was ultimately acquitted in court as no hard evidence existed that his partner Tóth had shared the information on the impending deal with him.

A few months later Cor Boonstra was again charged for not reporting trading in Ahold shares where he himself was a member of the board.
