Riedel Communications announced a change in leadership for its product division.
As of 1st January 2025, Jan Eveleens will assume the role of CEO of the product division, succeeding Rik Hoerée, who has decided to step back from his position after over a decade of service with Riedel.
Thomas Riedel, founder and CEO of the Riedel Group, commented: “Rik has been an integral part of the Riedel family since 2012, playing a vital role in shaping the company’s growth and success. 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.”
Since joining Riedel in 2018 as director of business development, Eveleens has spearheaded key initiatives, including the restructuring of production and purchasing operations, and has helped steer the company through global supply chain challenges.
Riedel noted: “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. 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 concluded: “I’m truly honored 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.”
