EVS announces the appointment of Serge Van Herck as new
CEO including a transition period with the CEO ad interim Pierre De
Muelenaere until the end of 2019. Pierre De Muelenaere announces
his decision to leave EVS for new projects on January 1,
2020.
EVS Broadcast Equipment, the leading provider of live video
production systems, announces the appointment of Serge Van Herck as
new CEO of the company.
Serge Van Herck is the former CEO and President of Newtec (2006
– 2016), a Belgian based international company specialized in
equipment and technologies for satellite communications. He holds
an electromechanical engineering degree from the University of
Ghent as well as a MBA degree from the Vlerick Leuven Gent
Management School in Belgium. He has more than 25 years of
management and board experience in the broadcast and satellite
communications industry within companies as Proximus, Accenture and
Eutelsat. He has been a long-term board member for various national
and international organizations, as well as industry and trade
associations. In 2008 he joined the WTA (World Teleport
Association) and ESOA (the European Satellite Operator Association)
as a Board Member. He also served as Board Member at VOKA
(Flanders' Chamber of Commerce and Industry) and Agoria (Belgium's
largest employers' organisation and trade association).
This appointment of InnoVision BV (represented by Serge Van
Herck) as CEO is effective immediately. Serge Van Herck will
report to the Board of Directors. Pierre De Muelenaere, Chairman of
the Board of Directors, who has been appointed CEO ad interim of
the company since July 2018, will help Serge Van Herck to execute a
seamless transition. The transition period will last until the end
of Pierre De Muelenaere’s mission on 31 December 2019.
Dr. Pierre De Muelenaere, Chairman of the Board and CEO ad
interim comments: “I’m very pleased to welcome Serge Van Herck as
the new CEO of EVS. I’m convinced that his extensive CEO and
broadcast market experience will be important assets for the future
of EVS.”
Serge Van Herck: ”I’m proud and grateful to be appointed as the
new CEO of EVS which is a company with a great team and an
impressive reputation in the market of Live Broadcast solutions.
I’m joining EVS after a successful interim period of Pierre De
Muelenaere and I’m very grateful that I will be able to rely on his
experience in order to perform a smooth transition.”
Dr. Pierre De Muelenaere: “During my long mission of CEO ad
interim, I have done my best to help EVS, align the teams, improve
the processes, boost the business and organize a more balanced
Board of Directors with the arrival of Belfius and Ackermans &
van Haaren as new shareholders. Many new initiatives have been
started and will now be transferred to Serge, as well as all the
files. All this will be completed by the end of this year.”
Pygargue SPRL (represented permanently by Pierre De Muelenaere)
has informed the company that it has decided to leave EVS on 31
December 2019, which is at the end of its long mission as CEO ad
interim of the company. In order to be able to focus on new
projects, it will resign on that date in its capacity of Chairman
and member of the Board.
Pierre De Muelenaere comments: “I joined EVS as Chairman of the
Board and the mission of “CEO ad interim” was not originally
foreseen. So, in July 2018, I had to reorganize my time on very
short notice and it has also been a very intense period since then.
Leaving EVS will allow me to catch up for some of my other
projects. The EVS project will remain an excellent souvenir. I have
discovered a fantastic company and a great team and I’m proud of
the work that I have done in the past 14 months with the EVS
Management Team. They are great people and have given me an
excellent support.”
