Declan Daly terminates board activity with Semperit

Vienna, Austria, 30 September 2016 — Chief Information Officer Declan Daly informed the company’s Supervisory Board that he does not intend to renew his current contract for another term after May 2017 in order to pursue other professional opportunities outside of the Semperit Group.

Mr. Daly was appointed CIO and Member of the Executive Board in March 2014 and tasked with the design and implementation of a group wide digitisation strategy. This involved the harmonisation of the global process landscape as well as the modernisation of the entire group IT infrastructure. This comprehensive strategy is currently being successfully implemented.

The Supervisory Board of Semperit AG Holding regrets this decision. “Declan Daly has made a major contribution to the modernisation and optimisation of the internal business processes” says Mr. Veit Sorger, Chairman of the Supervisory Board. The entire Supervisory Board thanks Declan Daly for his significant contribution and wishes him continued success for the future.
