Redcare Pharmacy Announces Leadership Succession Plan

Redcare Pharmacy N.V. has officially announced a critical internal succession plan where Dirk Brüse and Lode Fastré are set to succeed Stephan Weber (CCO) and Marc Fischer (CIO), enhancing the company's commitment to continuity and growth. This strategic decision is synchronized with the company's robust market position, aiming for a smooth leadership transition.

The company expressed its rationale for the timing of this transition as ideal, providing stability just around a year before the end of Weber and Fischer's regular terms. The successors, having significantly contributed to the company's strategic direction, have been prepared over many years, demonstrating leadership, expertise, and commitment. This move not only signifies the board's confidence in Brüse and Fastré but also honors the legacy of Weber and Fischer, pioneers in digitalizing the pharmacy market.

Stephan Weber and Marc Fischer, co-founders of Redcare Pharmacy, have significantly advanced the company since its inception in 2001, transitioning from an online shop to a leading e-pharmacy in Europe with a customer base nearing 11 million and generating substantial annual sales. They recall the journey of transforming the pharmacy sector through digital innovation and express confidence in their successors to further the company's vision and objectives.

Both Brüse and Fastré, with their considerable experience within the company and the broader online pharmacy sector, have expressed their commitment to advancing Redcare Pharmacy's strategic goals, ensuring its ongoing success and industry leadership in Europe. They will officially take up their roles following the formal approval at the Annual General Meeting on April 17, 2024.
