After 29 years as CEO, Willemse joins the Supervisory Board
Hilversum, 1 December 2008 – ICT service provider Inter Access appoints Michel de Meijer (47) as Chief Executive Officer as of 1 January 2009. De Meijer succeeds Gerard Willemse, who established the company 29 years ago and has led it ever since. Willemse will become a member of the Supervisory Board as of 1 January, along with Dick Sluimers, Leon van den Boorn, Roger van Boxtel and Jan Hovers, who will continue to fulfil the role of chairman.
Michel de Meijer joined Inter Access in April 2008 as Chief Operating Officer. Before that, he was CEO at Getronics PinkRoccade Netherlands.
“I am glad that, after a period of 29 years and after a carefully planned succession phase, I can hand over management to Michel de Meijer. I have every confidence in him,” says Gerard Willemse. “The moment has arrived, from my position as an entrepreneur, to let Inter Access develop further in the hands of a professional manager such as De Meijer.”
“I am looking forward to creating results and success in close cooperation with everyone involved at Inter Access,” says De Meijer. “Inter Access’ strategy is very stable, as is its positioning as an IT partner which combines expertise with personal involvement and flexibility. This makes Inter Access the alternative for the rigidity which many organisations experience in the ICT market. I will fully dedicate myself to realising our strategy and in that respect, I am very happy that Gerard Willemse will continue to contribute to this in his role of commissioner specialised in strategy.”
