Verniaut will drive the further development and international growth of the Pro-Alpha Group in the future. He will be supported by Patrick Klein (Chief Financial Officer), Nicolás Steib (Chief Operating Officer), Andree Stachowski (Chief Sales Officer), Gunnar Schug (Chief Technology Officer) and Michael Finkler (Business Development). Friedrich Neumeyer, who has held the position of CEO since 2014, is leaving the company.

Verniaut knows the industry. He has already gained international management experience, most recently at Blue Prism in the UK. Prior to that, he worked for SAP for eight years in various management roles in sales and consulting, including Head of Innovation Sales and Executive Vice President EMEA Industry. Most recently, he was Chief Operating Officer/Chief Business Officer for EMEA, MEE and Greater China, reporting directly to the SAP Executive Board.

"With Eric Verniaut, we are gaining a high-caliber and very experienced executive for the Pro-Alpha Group. Thanks to various management positions around the globe, he not only has wide-ranging experience in the areas of enterprise software, professional services and solution sales, but also extensive expertise in international markets," says José Duarte, Chairman of the Advisory Board of the Pro-Alpha Group.

Verinaut is looking forward to his new role: "I am thrilled to be joining the successful Pro-Alpha team. As one of the leading providers in the ERP sector and, more recently, in business intelligence and time management for SMEs, Pro Alpha is making a real contribution to the digital development of the business world. The company is on an impressive growth trajectory in a market that continues to expand rapidly. I look forward to accompanying this course in the future."
