The company has named James Neuling, formerly md for Europe since October 2022 to head the group. Cyrille Ragoucy, former executive chairman has become non-executive chairman.
‘With a year of dedicated service within our organisation, James has already demonstrated his leadership qualities and his deep understanding of Belysse’s values and objectives.

James is expected to continue focusing on profitability, sustainability, growth through innovation, manufacturing optimisation and more agile digital solutions. The board expresses its full confidence in James’ ability to lead Belysse together with the executive team of Jay Brown (president US) and Andy Rogiest (group cfo) into its next phase. Cyrille’s continued support and guidance as chairman will ensure continued availability of his vast experience.
