As the new CEO, Schulz is committed to the further advancement of Sesotec’s realignment strategy. “I am very much looking forward to working for Sesotec, and am grateful to Marc Setzen for his outstanding work over the past three years,” says Schulz. “He has significantly shaped the strategic trajectory of Sesotec as a customer-oriented and sustainable company. Under his leadership, the company has redefined its mission as one of ‘Driving Impact.’”
Schulz continues: “We will continue to charge forward on this path by continuously optimizing and expanding our portfolio of problem-solving products and services. The key to our own growth lies in our contribution to the economic success of our customers.”
