After 20 successful years, the last five of them as Managing Director of EnOcean, co-founder Andreas Schneider has left the company at his own request on 31 July 2021 to take on new entrepreneurial challenges. Since 1 August 2021 Raoul Wijgergangs is EnOcean\u2019s new CEO. He has over 20 years of experience in the IoT industry and is also a co-founder of the Z-Wave Alliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Peter Klein, CFO, EnOcean: “I would like to personally thank Andreas Schneider for his constant commitment and tireless dedication to the company and every single employee. Under his leadership EnOcean has been able to expand and consolidate its market position even further. The fact that we as a company have successfully come through the Corona crisis confirms this. The entire EnOcean team and I wish him all the best for the future. At the same time, I am looking forward to the upcoming collaboration with Raoul Wijgergangs as the new CEO and I am sure that together we will build on the outstanding work of Andreas Schneider.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raoul Wijgergangs, new CEO, EnOcean: “I am honoured that the Management Board puts so much trust in me as the new Managing Director, and I am very much looking forward to this new professional chapter. As the world leader in sustainable IoT, EnOcean will certainly be even more in demand in the coming months and years. With that in mind I see great opportunities not only in the commercial real estate but also in the industrial IoT. What\u2019s more, the company\u2019s focus on interoperability with products supporting the EnOcean radio standard, Bluetooth Low Energy and Zigbee Green Power makes it a real IoT power house. I thank Andreas Schneider for his successful work over the last years, without him EnOcean would certainly not be where the company is today. And of course I\u2019m very much looking forward to be working with such an innovative team with a strong expertise and great technical know-how.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before joining EnOcean, Wijgergangs was CEO at Disruptive Technologies in Oslo and worked as Vice President\/General Manager at Silicon Labs as well as Vice President\/General Manager of the Z-Wave business unit at Sigma Designs in Copenhagen, to name but a few positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
