DeRaedt has been with the company since it was formed in 1998, serving as the first Chairman of the Board of Directors from May 1998 until October 2002, when he resigned his board position to become the President, a position he has held since.

His foresight and leadership have been pivotal in shaping an industry that is dynamic and ever-evolving. He leaves behind a robust and well-respected organization, poised for continued success and innovation.”
