Strombeek-Bever (Brussels), 8 October 2008 – Keyrus, a recognised leader in the Belgian and Luxembourg performance management, business intelligence and data warehousing services market, announced that Hans Hulpiau and Marc Stukkens have been appointed as new Managing Directors of Keyrus in Belgium.

Hans Hulpiau and Marc Stukkens succeed Marc Hansenne and Frank Rossaert, two co-founders of the company. Marc Hansenne and Frank Rossaert co-founded the company in 1996, at the time known as SOLIDPartners, together with Hans Hulpiau, and now open the door for new leadership. Their passion for the advancement of data warehousing, business intelligence and performance management services will continue to be a guiding influence of the Keyrus vision.

Both Frank Rossaert and Marc Hansenne took the opportunity to define new personal goals, and chose to turn their strengths to pursue new areas and professional challenges and to pass on the management of Keyrus in Belgium. They have placed full trust in their successors to guide the company to new heights.

Hans Hulpiau is one of the partners who originally co-founded the Belgian company in 1996. He holds a master degree Commercial Engineer in Management Informatics and has been active, for the last 12 years, mostly in the area of project management. His long experience in the company has made him a natural successor. Hans Hulpiau will head the finance, HR and administration departments at Keyrus nv.

Marc Stukkens has worked for Keyrus since 2003 heading different departments such as HR and sales. He has a master degree in economic sciences and finance, in financial analysis and has a graduate degree in management. He also obtained a strong experience in the performance management domain. Since he joined the company in 2004, Marc Stukkens has been active in the areas of consulting management, HR, finance and sales management. Marc Stukkens will manage Keyrus nv’s business development and commercial departments.

Eric Cohen, CEO and Didier Taupin, Deputy CEO of Keyrus group support both Hans Hulpiau and Marc Stukkens in their new positions. They highlight the good past and present performance of the Belgian Keyrus entity and confirm their full confidence in the Belgian team to ensure future development.

“A new era of growth has started for Keyrus which is only possible thanks to the groundwork that has been laid in the last decade especially by Marc Hansenne and Frank Rossaert,” Marc Stukkens comments. “With the new company structure being put in place, we guarantee the continuity and sustained growth of our company, taking into account its existing values to excel in being an excellent employer to our staff and a top supplier to our customers. We will endeavour to continue the good work; we are all fully committed to moving the vision forward and seek new ways to further emphasize Keyrus’ strengths in the evolving market.”

“It has been 12 passionate years,” Frank Rossaert says, “starting the company from scratch and living the journey to the company as it is today. It has been interesting to get to know all customers, partners and colleagues along the journey, taking part in and constructing the growth. The success of Keyrus in Belgium today is the symbiosis of a strong and loyal client base on one hand and an outstanding Keyrus consultants team, sharing a warm collegial and client-focused atmosphere, spirit and culture. With high interest, I will follow the future evolution of Keyrus Belgium and Keyrus Group.”

Marc Hansenne and Frank Rossaert will both remain active within Keyrus until the end of the year. Keyrus would like to thank both for sharing their passion and knowledge for so many years and wishes them all the best for their new projects. Keyrus also wishes great success to Hans Hulpiau and Marc Stukkens in their new position and visionary role.
