The Netherlands: Stork Technical Services Appoints New CFO

With effect from February 1 Stork Technical Services has appointed Pim Oomens as member of the Board of Management.

He will become Chief Financial Officer with effect from March 1. Pim Oomens is the successor to Hans Turkesteen, who will leave the Stork group on March 31. Hans Turkesteen has been CFO of the holding company Stork B.V. since August 1, 2008, and the past year he has also been the CFO of the division Stork Technical Services. The Board of Management further consists of Doug Meikle (CEO) and Dave Workman (COO).

“This is a natural point in time for me to leave the group. Following the refinancing and the related financial and legal separation of Stork Technical Services and Fokker Technologies” stated Hans Turkesteen, “both units will operate as independent companies going forward”.

Pim Oomens was CFO of Wavin for the past eight years, during which time he gained experience with private equity shareholders and led the IPO of the company in 2006. Following the acquisition of Wavin in 2012 and the transition to the new shareholder, Pim Oomens left the company in September 2012.

Henk Rottinghuis, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Stork Technical Services said: “We are delighted to welcome a new Board member with the experience that Pim Oomens brings to the company, which became independent recently. We are confident that Pim will provide great added value to the company. The contribution of Hans Turkesteen has provided the company with a strong position for future growth, and we are very grateful to him for that.”
