Dura Succeeds René
Müller Who Will Now Serve as Chairman of GMC’s
Board of Directors
March
7th, 2013 - Boston, USA / Appenzell, Switzerland: GMC
Software Technology (GMC), the award winning leader in Customer Communications
Management (CCM), announces Henri Dura, managing director of
Neopost Document Solutions, will take the position of CEO of GMC Software Technology
with immediate effect. Dura succeeds René Müller, founder and current president
and CEO of the company.
France-based Neopost, a worldwide
supplier of mailroom solutions, acquired GMC Software Technology in July 2012
as part of Neopost’s Document Solutions Group. Under Dura’s direction, GMC
Software Technology will continue to operate autonomously.
“This is a
significant hire for GMC as Henri brings a wealth of expertise to support the
company’s continued growth in this dynamic marketplace,” said Müller.
“Henri is well positioned to assist the markets we serve in realizing the
significant return on investment our robust customer communication management
solutions deliver in terms of customer experience, retention and reduced
costs.”
Dura
brings both marketing insight and international experience to GMC. In 2011, he
was managing director of Neopost Document Solutions, responsible for building
and growing the newly created Document Solutions Division. Prior to that, he
held the role of chief marketing and strategy officer for the company, moving
from managing director of Neopost France. Before joining Neopost, Dura held
positions at Xerox, France Telecom, Kyocera and Pitney Bowes. He is a graduate
of France’s Institut d’Etudes Politiques de Paris with a degree in economics
and finance.
“I’m looking forward to this new opportunity,”
said Dura. “Working with the existing, strong management team already in place
at GMC, we will continue our focus on serving our customers’ business
communications needs as the global leader in customer communications
management. In addition to this, plans are to use the robust GMC software to
deliver targeted solutions for small to medium-sized businesses, which are the
core of Neopost’s business.”
Müller
moves to become the chairman of the board and will take a full and active role
focusing on business development.
