Pygargue SPRL (represented permanently by Pierre De Muelenaere) has informed the company that it has decided to leave EVS on 31 December 2019, which is at the end of its long mission as CEO ad interim of the company. In order to be able to focus on new projects, it will resign on that date in its capacity of Chairman and member of the Board.
Pierre De Muelenaere comments: “I joined EVS as Chairman of the Board and the mission of “CEO ad interim” was not originally foreseen. So, in July 2018, I had to reorganize my time on very short notice and it has also been a very intense period since then. Leaving EVS will allow me to catch up for some of my other projects. The EVS project will remain an excellent souvenir. I have discovered a fantastic company and a great team and I’m proud of the work that I have done in the past 14 months with the EVS Management Team. They are great people and have given me an excellent support.”
