Cegeka today announced that CEO Stijn Bijnens is stepping down effective immediately to pursue a new professional opportunity as CEO of the Belgian telecom company Proximus. Due to the nature of the transition, no handover period is possible.
Cegeka extends its gratitude to Stijn’s for almost seven years of dedicated leadership and significant contributions to Cegeka’s growth. Stijn Bijnens’ departure does not signal any change in direction for Cegeka. We remain fully committed to our current strategy. We believe in shaping digital together, and will continue working shoulder to shoulder with our clients to design, build and run resilient digital solutions.
Preparations to initiate a formal search for our next CEO have already started. During this interim period, Annelore Buijs, Bart Watteeuw and Stephan Daems will act as a co-CEO team, chaired by Stephan Daems.
Cegeka emphasizes that its strategic direction will remain unchanged going forward. “With our strong organization and committed team, we are well positioned to continue achieving our growth goals and delivering the high level of service our customers expect,” said André Knaepen, founder and chairman of the board of directors at Cegeka.
