Umicore’s CEO Marc Grynberg said : “An has been a key contributor to our Management Board since she joined the company in 2018 and I would like to thank her for her contribution and engagement.

While I regret to see An leave, I am sure that she will also thrive in her new role and I wish her every success.”
