Umicore 宣佈首席執行官繼任
Umicore announces the appointment of Bart Sap as Chief Executive Officer, effective May 16th. He will succeed Mathias Miedreich who has decided to step down, in mutual agreement with the Supervisory Board.
優美科宣佈任命 Bart Sap 爲首席執行官,自 5 月 16 日起生效第四。經與監事會雙方同意,他將接替決定下臺的馬蒂亞斯·米德雷希。
Bart Sap joined Umicore in 2004 and has been the Executive Vice President Catalysis since March 2021. His nomination is in line with the company's established succession plan. Mathias Miedreich will remain available for advice to Umicore during the next several months.
In light of slower demand growth for EV battery materials affecting the entire industry, one of Bart Sap's main priorities will be to assess the development plans for the Umicore Battery Materials business, including capex. The first outcomes of this review will be shared during the half-year results announcement on July 26th, 2024.
Bart Sap 於 2004 年加入 Umicore,自 2021 年 3 月起擔任催化劑執行副總裁。他的提名符合公司既定的繼任計劃。在接下來的幾個月中,馬蒂亞斯·米德雷希將繼續向優美科提供建議。
鑑於電動汽車電池材料需求增長放緩影響整個行業,Bart Sap的主要優先事項之一將是評估Umicore電池材料業務的發展計劃,包括資本支出。本次審查的初步結果將在2024年7月26日的半年度業績公佈中分享。
Thomas Leysen, Chair of the Supervisory Board commented: "With Bart, we have a new CEO with deep experience of Umicore's different businesses and with a track record of success. In recent years he steered the Catalysis Business Group to record results and returns on capital employed combined with a remarkable cash flow generation, and this in a challenging market context. As a leader, he has fostered an inclusive culture and with particular attention to safety performance. The Supervisory Board is confident he is the right leader for Umicore in the next phase of its development."
監事會主席托馬斯·萊森評論說:”有了Bart,我們有了新的首席執行官,他在Umicore的不同業務方面擁有豐富的經驗,並且有着良好的成功記錄。近年來,他帶領催化劑業務集團在充滿挑戰的市場背景下取得了創紀錄的業績和資本回報率,並創造了可觀的現金流。作爲領導者,他培養了包容性文化,特別關注安全績效。監事會相信,他是Umicore下一階段發展的正確領導者。”
He added: "Mathias has been a forceful and energetic leader dedicated to the development and growth of Umicore. He led Umicore through challenging times, marked by the pandemic and by great geo-political and macro-economic volatility. With his deep industry knowledge, he brought many valuable insights to Umicore. I would like to thank Mathias on behalf of the Supervisory Board for his contribution to Umicore and wish him every success in the future."
他補充說:”馬蒂亞斯是一位強大而充滿活力的領導者,致力於Umicore的發展和成長。他帶領優美科度過了以疫情以及巨大的地緣政治和宏觀經濟波動爲標誌的充滿挑戰的時期。憑藉其深厚的行業知識,他爲Umicore帶來了許多寶貴的見解。我要代表監事會感謝馬蒂亞斯對Umicore的貢獻,並祝願他將來一切順利。“
