CEO switch at Zappware confirms ongoing strategy

Patrick Vos, has been appointed new CEO of Zappware, the Belgian one-stop solution provider for iDTV on multiple TV platforms. Effective as of 14 November 2008 Patrick Vos, in charge of international sales, will from now on also take up the day-to-day management of the company. This move confirms a change in strategy that has been going on for two years now and that sees the company focus on marketing and sales both locally and internationally. His predecessor, Jan Stinissen, co-founder of Zappware, switches to the role of member of the Executive Board.

Patrick Vos: "The international market is a rapidly growing part of Zappware's turnover. It shows that we are on the right track with Zappware's current proposition on the market as interactive service provider for iDTV on multiple TV platforms. By combining our international activities with our pioneering role on the local market, we are in the best position to offer our clients - locally as well as internationally - best of breed solutions that fully exploit the commercial potential of interactive digital television."

Jan Stinissen: "It is a natural evolution that Patrick Vos, who has been at the source of Zappware's successful international track of the past few years, gains more responsibility. Combined with Zappware's proven record on the local market, this will result in day-to-day management with the right mix of national and international focus. I will continue to consult and witness the company's ins and outs from within the Executive Board."
