The Riedel Group has announced an expanded management structure, effective January 1, 2022, where the company will be organized in three main divisions: the “Product Division” and “Managed Technology” business units will have Rik Hoerée and Lutz Rathmann as their respective new CEOs, with Riedel Networks GmbH and its managing director and CEO Michael Martens forming the third division.
“The last year has given us time to take a deep breath and reflect on our setup. We realized that we would have to change some things to sustain the rapid expansion of our business,” says Thomas Riedel, CEO of the Riedel Group. “These past few years, our company has seen tremendous growth, and 2021 is no exception. Now is the right time to broaden the management team to support this dynamic upswing. This reorganization is the foundation to master current and future challenges to our business and to continue our strong organic growth.”
Riedel chief sales officer (CSO) Martin Berger has been driving this move and on January 1, he will withdraw from the Riedel management board. “I take great pride in the fact that we have developed first-class leaders within our own ranks, who are now ready to take on greater responsibility for our next growth phase,” Berger says. “It was a privilege to be part of this evolutionary change process.”
Riedel concludes, “I’m very pleased that we were able to get Martin, who would like to dedicate more time to his private endeavors in the future, to continue to support us in an advisory capacity.”
