Cegeka Strengthens Board of Directors to Accelerate Growth and International Expansion

Cegeka today announces an important milestone in its strategic development: the expansion of its Board of Directors with three new members: Bart Van Den Meersche, Kurt Decat and Bart Troubleyn. Their combined expertise in digital transformation, financial management and international business operations will support Cegeka in the next phase of growth and globalization, while contributing to the continued professionalization of the organization.

The world we operate in is evolving at high speed. To strengthen our position and seize new opportunities, it is essential to bring additional strategic knowledge and international experience on board. Together with the other members of the Board, they will act as strategic advisors for management, safeguard the long-term vision and support the organization in making key strategic decisions. 

“This expansion is an important first step in the further professionalization of our governance. The three new members bring a wealth of experience that will help prepare Cegeka for the next phase of growth and internationalization. Together, we are building a future in which Cegeka further strengthens its position as a global leader in digital solutions. That is what ‘shaping digital together’ stands for,” says André Knaepen, Chairman of the Board and founder of Cegeka.
