Pieter Varkevisser will lead the company through their next stage of growth while former president and CEO Johannes Scholtes assumes the roles of Chairman of ZyLAB’s supervisory board and Chief Strategy Officer.

Pieter’s leadership skills and extensive experience in the software industry make him a great fit to help take ZyLAB to the next level of growth and expansion.”
