Hybrid Software Group has appointed Joachim Van Hemelen as its new CFO and company director following Graeme Huttley’s decision to take up a new role in private equity. Van Hemelen is currently the CFO of Hyrbid Software, a post he has held since 2016.
Peter Goodwin is being promoted from group financial controller to group finance director and company secretary, and Floris De Ruyck, currently the Group’s legal counsel, will be responsible for market relations and compliance. The team will take up their new roles on 1 September 2022.
Van Hemelen (36) played a key role before and after the merger of Hybrid Software with Global Graphics, the predecessor to Hybrid Software Group. Prior to joining Hybried Software he was a merger and acquisitions advisor in a Flanders-based mid-market M&A boutique. He started his professional career in 2010 as a financial auditor at BDO.
Guido Van der Schueren, chairman of Hybrid Software Group, said: “Graeme Huttley has been with the company for more than 25 years and we are extremely grateful for the contribution he has made to the group. Joachim is a worthy successor with the right combination of technical ability, a strong focus on financial reporting and controls, and good knowledge of the industry that we serve. The board of directors welcomes him into his new role.”
