ESI Group announces the retirement of Dr. Christopher St John, Chief Operating Officer
Summary
Alain de Rouvray, Chairman of the Board of Directors comments: “I recruited Christopher 12 years ago to accelerate the development of the Group in Asia thanks to his great professional skills and personal qualities. He has been a major contributor to build key partnerships with our customers in their digital transformation and specifically in China and Japan.” Christopher St John concludes: “I came to ESI later in my career and am proud to have become part of their near 50-year history and a late contributor to the evolution of their thought leadership in the industry. It is a privilege to be part of their rich community of customers, partners and employees and to assist in the transition to the next generation of the new executive team. Importantly, I would like to recognize the strong support I received from Alain and the Board of ESI throughout my tenure as COO and to express my continuing commitment to the success of my colleagues, the company and our customers.” Founded in 1973, ESI Group is a leading innovator in Virtual Prototyping solutions and a global enabler of industrial transformation.
