bpost: CEO to leave in February 2020

(CercleFinance.com) - bpost, the postal operator of Belgium, has said that Koen Van Gerven has decided not to run as a candidate for a new mandate as company CEO, with his current term of office expiring on 26 February 2020.


"The vision, strategy and plans are clear, and their execution has begun. Recent results have shown that the group is armed with a strong ambition and the right people to respond to the changes of a digitalizing world. The first green shoots of our strategy roll-out are present, but we still have a long way to go. Therefore, bpost needs a CEO who can guarantee continuity in our transformation journey for the full term of the six year mandate," he said.

Koen Van Gerven joined bpost in 2006 as director of retail & financial services and was appointed group CEO in February 2014. The Board of Directors has requested François Cornelis, Chairman of the Board, to launch the recruitment process for a new CEO.
