During its Feb. 9 meeting, the board of directors of Agfa-Gevaert has accepted Jo Cornu’s request to end his mandate as company CEO. The board has decided to nominate Christian Reinaudo as his successor, effective immediately.
The board also will propose to the general meeting of shareholders the reelection of Jo Cornu as a member of the board of directors.
“Jo Cornu [took] the position of CEO on December 1, 2007 under very difficult circumstances. He has lead Agfa-Gevaert through the economic crisis,” said Julien De Wilde, chairman of the board “The board of directors respects his request to end his mandate at the end of April.”
