Node4 today announces the appointment of Serge Lupas as Chief Executive Officer, reinforcing its commitment to the strategic direction launched earlier this year and supporting the continued growth of the business.
Serge joins Node4 from Cyclomedia Technology, where he served as Global CEO. Prior to this, he was Global CEO and President of Kantar Media and has held leadership positions across several international technology, data and connectivity businesses.
Node4 continues to invest in the managed services, cloud, security, connectivity and data capabilities that help customers modernise, simplify complexity and accelerate their digital transformation ambitions.
Serge joins at a time of strong momentum for the business and will work closely with the Board and Executive Team to build on the foundations already in place, supporting the next phase of growth for Node4, its customers, colleagues and partners.
The announcement follows the sad passing of former CEO Neil Muller in June. Neil played an integral role in shaping the company's direction, bringing the organisation together behind its Growing Together strategy and a clear vision focused on customer success, sustainable growth and long-term value creation.
Under Serge's leadership Node4 will continue building on that foundation, focused on delivering for its customers, colleagues and partners.
"What drew me to Node4 was the strength of the people, the quality of customer relationships and the depth of capability across the business.
While I didn't know Neil Muller personally, I've heard a great deal about the energy, ambition and belief he brought to Node4. I have real confidence in the strategy and the direction that has been set. My immediate focus is to listen, learn and work alongside colleagues and customers and help accelerate the momentum already underway."
Patrick De Smedt, Non-Executive Chair added, “Neil Muller led Node4 with enormous energy and conviction, and he is deeply missed.
In Serge, we have found an experienced leader who recognises the strength of the strategy Neil helped shape with the Board and Executive Team and has the capability to accelerate its delivery for our customers and our people. Our strategic direction remains unchanged. Serge joins us to build on the strong foundations already in place and lead Node4 through its next phase of growth.”
