Riedel Communications has announced Jan Eveleens will succeed Rik Hoerée as CEO of its product division from 1st January 2025.
Hoerée has decided to leave after a decade with the company, said Riedel.
“While I am stepping down from my current role, I am not stepping down from being a die-hard Riedel fan, and I have no doubts that Riedel will keep pushing the envelope of technological excellence,” added Hoerée. “After many years of working closely with Jan, I know that the company is in good hands.”
“Rik has been an integral part of the Riedel family since 2012, playing a vital role in shaping the company’s growth and success,” said Thomas Riedel, founder and CEO of the Riedel Group.
“While we’re sad to see him go, we’re grateful that he will continue to support us throughout the leadership transition. We thank Rik for his immense contributions and wish him the very best as he takes time to recharge and spend more time with his family.”
Eveleens joined Riedel in 2018 as director of business development, and has been involved in the restructuring of the company’s production and purchasing operations, as well as steering the company through global supply chain challenges.
“Jan has proven his leadership qualities time and time again, whether during his tenure as CEO of Axon, or his incredible work here at Riedel. He brings a unique blend of industry knowledge, leadership acumen, and a deep understanding of Riedel’s DNA,” Riedel added. “Together with the existing management team, he will take our product division to new heights, navigating industry challenges while uncovering new opportunities for growth.”
Eveleens added, “I’m truly honoured to take on this role and grateful for the trust placed in me. Building on Rik’s remarkable legacy, I’m excited to work alongside our talented team to drive innovation and continue delivering cutting-edge solutions to our customers worldwide.”
