GEA sets store by continuity for regional heads
Düsseldorf (Germany), January 17, 2017 - As of February 1st, 2017, Ansgar
Hoffmann, who was previously responsible for GEA's North & Central Europe
Region, will be taking over the DACH & Eastern Europe Region from Dr. Hugo
Blaum, who is retiring. Ann Cuylaerts, previously Head of GEA France and
GEA Maghreb, will be taking up the vacant position of Regional Head of
North & Central Europe. In their new functions, Ann Cuylaerts and Ansgar
Hoffmann will be reporting directly to Jürg Oleas, Chairman of the
Executive Board of GEA Group Aktiengesellschaft.
After spending several years as a consultant, Hoffmann, a German national
who has a degree in business IT, joined GEA in 2003 and has held various
management functions during that time, including the position of a managing
director inside the former GEA Heat Exchangers segment and a term as
Business Unit Leader and General Sales Manager of the former GEA Farm
Technologies segment. Cuylaerts, a Belgian national, has a Master's Degree
in Process Engineering (with a focus on biochemistry) and has been with GEA
since 1994. She started her career in Belgium as a sales engineer and, like
Ansgar Hoffmann, has held a variety of management functions, mainly in the
field of mechanical separation.
"On behalf of the entire Executive Board, I would like to thank Hugo Blaum
for his long and extremely successful years of service for GEA. Over the
last 15 years, his excellent technical know-how and outstanding leadership
style have endeared him to staff and management alike and helped to sustain
positive business growth. We would like to take this opportunity to wish
Hugo Blaum all the very best on his retirement. Ansgar Hoffmann and Ann
Cuylaerts are highly experienced leaders who will help us to maintain
continuity in the service we provide to our customers," said Jürg Oleas.
