Muriel De Lathouwer appointed as President of the Executive Committee on an
interim basis, until a new CEO is selected
In a meeting on October 10, 2014, the Board of Directors and Joop Janssen
mutually agreed to end the term of the office and duties of Joop Janssen,
managing director and CEO of EVS, due to differences in view about the
implementation of the company's long term strategy. This agreement is effective
as of October 14, 2014, although Mr Janssen remains available as an advisor,
allowing for a smooth transition.
"The entire Board of Directors would like to thank Joop Janssen for his work
during the past two years. Under his leadership, the structure of EVS has been
strengthened and professionalized, enabling the company to further grow in its
four key markets: Sports, Entertainment, News and Media," said Pierre Rion,
Chairman of the Board of Directors of EVS.
The Board of Directors has launched the search for a new CEO. Muriel De
Lathouwer, currently a member of the Board of Directors of EVS, chairing the
Strategy Committee, is appointed as the President of the Executive Committee on
an interim basis. "I have great confidence in Muriel De Lathouwer's capacities
to perform this task, in close cooperation with the management team in place,"
Pierre Rion added.
During her career, Muriel De Lathouwer worked for Accenture, was Associate
Principal at McKinsey and a member of the Executive Committee at Base (KPN). She
is an Engineer from ULB (University of Brussels) and holds an MBA from INSEAD.
