Stephen van Coller has been appointed as the new CEO of EOH Holdings.
This follows the announcement of 27 June, where EOH Holdings outlined a new strategy centred on reconfiguring the group into two distinct and independent businesses, EOH and Nextec.
The two entities will each have its own CEO, brand and identity, business model, growth and go-to-market strategies.
With the creation of the two independent businesses, EOH Holdings corporate structure will be responsible for corporate finance, corporate strategy, group reporting, investor relations, risk and compliance.
In addition to the growth expected from EOH and Nextec, EOH Holdings will drive growth in the areas of innovation, own IP, international business and emerging technologies.
