Riedel Communications has strengthened its leadership and global go-to-market structure by appointing Lutz Rathmann as CEO, and welcomed Anthony Zuyderhoff as CCO.
Effective January 1 2027, Lutz Rathmann takes on the role of CEO at Riedel Communications, assuming overall responsibility for the product division and managed technology division.
Anthony Zuyderhoff will take on the role of chief commercial officer, leading the company’s newly unified global go-to-market organisation. Jan Eveleens, current CEO of the product division, will retire at the end of 2026 following a long career in the broadcast industry.
The new setup brings the product division and managed technology division into closer alignment, combining Riedel’s product development and live production specialisation closer together. Both divisions will retain their respective teams, expertise, and market focus while collaborating more closely across the business. Riedel will connect its customer-facing sales, service, support, and marketing functions through a shared go-to-market leadership for a more coordinated and consistent approach to customers and partners.
Rathmann commented: “Our customers do not think in terms of internal structures or individual responsibilities. They expect us to understand their challenges and bring the right capabilities together. By aligning Product and Managed Technology more closely and strengthening how we connect with the market, we can turn our combined experience into greater value for customers and partners.”
