VELDHOVEN, the Netherlands, November 30, 2023 – The Supervisory
Board of ASML Holding NV (ASML) announces that it intends to
appoint Christophe Fouquet, currently ASML’s Chief Business Officer
and member of the Board of Management, as the company’s next
President and Chief Executive Officer. The appointment is subject
to notification of the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on
April 24, 2024.
On the same date, ASML’s Co-Presidents Peter Wennink and Martin
van den Brink will retire from ASML upon completion of their
current appointment terms. Nils Andersen, Chairman of
the Supervisory Board, said: “The Supervisory Board, together with
the management team, has gone through a comprehensive succession
planning process. With Christophe, we have identified a very
experienced leader with deep understanding of ASML’s technology and
the semiconductor industry ecosystem – acquired through different
roles at ASML and other companies – and the right leadership
qualities and culture fit. We are grateful and full of admiration
for the immense contributions that Peter and Martin have made over
decades, helping to shape ASML into the successful company that it
is today. Peter and Martin have been preparing ASML for the future,
and we know they will be fully engaged in securing a smooth
transition for the company and all of ASML’s stakeholders.”
ASML President & CEO Peter Wennink said: “I am very pleased
that we have been able to secure such a strong successor to lead
ASML as of April of next year. Christophe has been with ASML for 15
years, with a major focus on ASML technology, products and
customers. He started his ASML career in DUV, then led two of
ASML’s fast-growing business lines – the Applications business and
EUV – and more recently all ASML businesses. We share the ‘ASML
DNA’ of collaboration and partnership. I will work closely with
Christophe to ensure that he has the best possible start into his
new position.”
Christophe Fouquet commented: “I am excited and honored to take
up the position of CEO. ASML has built a strong and unique position
in the semiconductor market over the years under the leadership of
Peter and Martin. We have a clear strategy and a great team, and I
look forward to building on this solid foundation in the coming
years. I know I can count on more than 42,500 colleagues all around
the world to continue to closely collaborate to further develop our
technology, serve our customers and continue to create value for
all our stakeholders.”
ASML President & CTO Martin van den Brink added: “It has
been a privilege to co-lead ASML with Peter and to have brought a
strong focus on product, technology and engineering capabilities to
the company and its suppliers. I am proud of the innovations that
we have delivered together with our customers over the decades. My
collaboration with Christophe has been very close and fruitful for
many years, and I am proud that ASML has been able to grow a
technologist like Christophe into the CEO position. I am happy that
he will lead our technology organization and place it at the heart
of ASML’s future. In the coming months, I will work with him to
ensure a smooth transition, knowing that ASML is well positioned to
deliver the innovations across our product portfolio that our
customers need and expect from us.”
Chief Customer Officer to be appointed In
addition, the Supervisory Board intends to appoint Jim Koonmen as
Chief Customer Officer, a new position in ASML’s Board of
Management, subject to notification of the Annual General Meeting
of Shareholders on April 24, 2024.
Jim’s appointment underscores ASML’s ambition to continuously
increase our responsiveness to customer needs and to consistently
deliver high-performance products and services.
Jim Koonmen joined ASML in 2007 through the acquisition of
Brion, where he was general manager from 2008 until 2015. He
subsequently served as the CEO of Cymer and led the Applications
business line for 5 years.
Annet Aris, Vice Chair of the Supervisory Board said: “We know
that Jim will play a strong role to amplify the voice of the
customer within ASML and to drive closer collaboration and even
higher customer satisfaction.”
