Apart – Audioprof names new CEO
Published: ASIA
WORLD: Apart – Audioprof has announced that former COO Koen Claerbout has taken over the role of CEO from company founder Tom Gheysens.
Due to Apart’s growth and the rapidly changing markets, the company decided that it was necessary to free up time for Mr Gheysens in order to allow him to focus on strategic development and the vision of the company – independently of the company’s day-to-day management.
Mr Gheysens has instead taken on the role of chief strategy officer where he focuses on strategic challenges, opportunities and partnerships. He will execute these tasks within his role as an important shareholder and board member.
‘The complementary roles are a logical evolution in the sustainable growth path of Apart – Audioprof,’ said Mr Claerbout and Mr Gheysens in a joint statement. ‘We are ready to further strengthen our position in the fixed install audio market.’
