As part of Getronics’ continuous efforts to strengthen the business and position itself for long-term success, it is thrilled to announce some significant and exciting updates. With the recent successful refinancing by Cheyne Capital, Getronics has secured a solid financial foundation that will fuel its future growth and strategic investments. This is a milestone towards stability and progress.
In line with this development, and an eye to the future, Getronics is also evolving its leadership team. Since November 2023, Andre Ribbens, has served as interim CEO, skilfully guiding the company through a period of strategic realignment. The Board extends its gratitude to Andre for his leadership during this pivotal time and is pleased that he will continue to play a key role as Chief Operating Officer.
To lead Getronics into a new era of growth, the Board has appointed Stuart Deignan as the new CEO, effective September 30, 2024. Stuart comes to Getronics with over 25 years’ experience in global IT services and an impressive track record of driving transformation and growth in organisations such as Globant, ThoughtWorks, Logica, CGI, and Wipro. His extensive leadership experience spans the US, LATAM, Europe, and Asia, focusing on transformative growth, strategic vision, operational excellence, and building high-performing teams.
Getronics looks forward to this next chapter of growth, driven by a strong financial base and led by a dynamic leadership team.
Stuart Deignan, CEO of Getronics, shared his enthusiasm for the journey ahead:
“I am excited to join Getronics at such a positive moment in its journey. With a strong financial foundation and an incredibly talented team, the company is well-positioned to accelerate our growth plans and deliver next-generation solutions for our clients. I look forward to building on the solid groundwork laid and driving the business forward.”
Laurie Mcilwee, Chair of the Board, echoed his sentiment:
“With the financial stability achieved, Getronics now has a robust platform for future growth. Stuart’s appointment marks an exciting new chapter for the company, and I am confident that his leadership will propel us toward even greater success.”
Andre Ribbens, COO of Getronics, said:
“I am looking forward to Stuart joining as our new CEO and to continue being part of this dynamic leadership team. Stuart’s extensive industry experience will accelerate our growth and help keep us at the forefront of technological innovation for our clients.”
