Cegeka’s new structure for accelerated international growth

"To achieve Cegeka's ambitious international growth plans, we're refining our structure. This will enable us to scale Cegeka solutions more quickly worldwide while continuing to deliver the close collaboration our customers expect," says Stijn Bijnens, CEO of Cegeka.

Focus on accelerating growth in European regions with integrated solutions and services

Cegeka has been a strong player in the Belgian and Dutch IT markets for years. We want to leverage our successful growth trajectory in our home markets of Belgium and the Netherlands to expand more rapidly into other regions. To ensure this acceleration is successful in Europe, Annelore Buijs, the current managing director of Cegeka Netherlands, will lead the European Cegeka organization as Executive Vice President Europe. The goal is to offer Cegeka's integrated portfolio of solutions and services to the market. 

"By working hand-in-hand with our customers, we understand which solutions and services they need to take their digital journey to the next level. Cegeka has been a trusted partner to its customers for over 30 years, providing expert advice and support backed by our extensive technological expertise. We continue to do this in all European countries where we operate," says Annelore Buijs, Executive Vice President Europe at Cegeka. 

This portfolio is bundled into one coherent structure within Cegeka called 'Services & Solutions.' This organization consists of seven business lines: Application Services, Business Solutions, Quality Engineering, Data & AI, Digital Workplace, Security Networking & Regulatory/Compliance, and Hybrid Cloud. "With this new structure, we believe we can better support our customers' digitalization efforts. We can focus on specialized knowledge within each business line while also benefiting from the synergy and cross-pollination between them," Bijnens explains. The new 'Services & Solutions' organization will be led by Bart Watteeuw, as Executive Vice President Services & Solutions.

In Close Cooperation with new managing directors for Belgium and the Netherlands 

Cegeka is focused on international growth without losing sight of its home markets, Belgium and the Netherlands. Growth is synonymous with Cegeka, but our customers remain our central focus. To maintain close contact with our customers and stay attuned to their needs, Cegeka is appointing a Managing Director for Cegeka Belgium. Geert Rottier, the current Chief Marketing Officer, will lead the organization in Belgium and serve as the main contact for our Belgian customers. 

"I'm eager to break new ground in digital transformation alongside our clients. We have been successfully leading the way in digitalization in Belgium for over 30 years. Looking ahead to future growth, we remain true to the Cegeka credo: 'in close cooperation' working together with our customers," says Geert Rottier, Managing Director of Cegeka Belgium. 

Additionally, Cegeka is appointing a new Managing Director for the Netherlands to succeed Annelore Buijs. Jan Willem Voorink, currently the Sales Director for the Netherlands, will take on the role of Managing Director to further support Dutch customers in their digitalization efforts. 

"I'm excited to help more businesses level up their digital game in my new position. We remain committed to creating the right conditions for our customers to focus on what truly matters to them: their growth and core processes," says Jan Willem Voorink, Managing Director Cegeka Netherlands. 
 
"I am pleased that Geert and Jan Willem, who both know the organization and our customers inside out, will strengthen our team as Managing Directors. They both have the expertise and knowledge needed to drive Cegeka's growth further. Moreover, they are close to the market and can quickly respond to needs and demands," concludes Bijnens.
