As our new CEO, Ludovic’s experience, expertise and strong leadership track-record will be key to our growth and success in Europe, while Rogier’s strong technical expertise and industry and leadership experience will be integral to executing the business’s strategy. I am looking forward to working closely with them both and the new highly experienced MS AISE Non-Executive Board members.
