/PRNewswire/ --

Thijs Aarten gave notice of his resignation as Chief Executive Officer

(CEO) of energy services company DNV KEMA

Energy & Sustainability to the N.V. KEMA Supervisory

Board yesterday. Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Jos Huijbregts and

Member of the Executive Board Hans van Haarst also handed in their

resignations. The Supervisory Board accepted all three resignations.

The new CEO of DNV KEMA will be David Walker, and the new CFO will

be Aad van den Bos.

Thijs Aarten, Hans van Haarst and Jos Huijbregts have been instrumental in the

effort to find new shareholders and in the first stages of the ensuing integration

of N.V. KEMA and DNV. During the integration process it became clear that the

CEO, the CFO and the member of the Executive Board do not share the same

visions as the Supervisory Board regarding the future of DNV KEMA.

After an intensive six year period in building KEMA globally and resulting in the

acquisition by DNV, Thijs Aarten decided to pursue opportunities as an

independent advisor in the global energy transition. Hans van Haarst and Jos

Huijbregts have both decided to pursue career opportunities elsewhere.

The Supervisory Board has proposed to appoint David Walker as new CEO and

Aad van den Bos as new CFO of DNV KEMA. David Walker, from the UK, joins

from the position of Group Chief Strategy Officer in the DNV Group. He has

more than 30 years of international experience covering the entire energy

value chain. Aad van den Bos, from

the Netherlands

, joins from a position of

Divisional Controller, Division Central and

Southern Europe

&

Middle East

in DNV

Business Assurance. He has 30 years of international experience working with

financial and project management.

N.V. KEMA, the Supervisory Board and its shareholders recognize the efforts of

Thijs Aarten, Hans van Haarst and Jos Huijbregts in the integration of N.V. KEMA

and DNV.
