To ensure a thorough and efficient search process, Nepa is engaging the services of an executive search firm, with the aim to identify highly qualified individuals who possess the necessary skills and experience to propel the organization forward. Ulrich Boyer continues to serve as CEO until a suitable successor or an interim solution is in place.

“Based on Nepa’s track record and strong client relationships, our long-term focus is to accelerate growth and leverage our cutting-edge technology, by finding the right balance between scalable revenue from subscription products and value-adding consulting services. To meet the short-term challenging markets, we are addressing the cost base, in line with the previously communicated cost targets.

Since I took over as CEO, key actions have been taken to execute on our strategy, including strengthening the management team with Ferry Wolswinkel as the Chief Revenue Officer, who has successfully shaped the new sales organization, which came into effect in January 2023. In addition, we have made a smooth transition of the CFO position to Sonja Thorngren, further strengthening the Group Management team. With a stable and capable leadership now in place, it is the right time to find a permanent CEO who can build upon Nepa’s strategic direction and drive the growth of our global powerhouse, empowering brands with unique insights for their growth,” says Ulrich Boyer.
