EVS Broadcast Equipment, the leading provider of live video production systems,
announces the appointment of Muriel De Lathouwer as managing director & CEO of
the company.
Muriel De Lathouwer was serving as interim president of the Executive Committee
of EVS on an interim basis since the departure of Joop Janssen in October 2014.
She has been a member of the EVS Board of Directors since November 2013, also
chairing its Strategic Committee. She started her career as IT Consultant at
Accenture, before spending years at McKinsey in Brussels (she was Associate
Principal between 2006 and 2008, specialized in telecom, high tech and media
sectors). Between 2008 and 2009, she was Chief Marketing Officer of the mobile
telecom operator BASE (subsidiary of KPN). Then, before taking over her
executive role at EVS in 2014, she was Managing Director (and co-founder) of an
engineering consultancy firm in energy and environmental matters. She is an
Engineer in Nuclear Physics (ULB, Brussels), and holds an MBA from Insead
(Paris). She is a member of Women on Board (a Belgian and European network of
women members of Board of Directors), and is a member of the Board of Directors
of Amoobi, a technology company specializing in customer flow analytics.
"Since joining the Board of Directors of EVS in November 2013, I've had the
opportunity to appreciate the quality and unrivalled reliability of EVS
solutions, as well as the company's strong innovative drive. The past four
months have reinforced my understanding of the very solid fundamentals of EVS:
high professional skills, a strong culture, engagement of the entire staff to
meet customer requirements, and above everything, the passion the employees have
for what they do and strive to achieve every day," said Muriel De Lathouwer.
"Today, I'm very happy to be able to pursue, as CEO, what has been initiated
with the Executive Committee over the last few months."
Pierre Rion, chairman of the Board of Directors of EVS, said, "This appointment
is the result of a recruitment process initiated in October last year, combined
with the way Muriel rapidly federated the management team. During the interim,
she demonstrated that, in addition to the strategic competences we already knew
from her role in the Board of Directors, she has all the necessary managerial
skills to bring EVS to new levels."
This appointment is effective immediately. In a meeting earlier this week, the
Board of Directors of EVS acknowledged the resignation of Muriel De Lathouwer as
director and has immediately appointed "MucH SPRL" (represented by Muriel De
Lathouwer as permanent representative) as director under the co-optation
process, and subsequently, as managing director and chief executive officer of
EVS. The mandate of "MucH sprl" will be proposed for confirmation at the next
Ordinary General Meeting on May 19, 2015. The composition of the Strategic
Committee will also be reviewed soon.
