Spacewell, a global supplier of smart building and agile workspace management solutions, and part of the Nemetschek Group, has appointed Wouter Hartemink as its new CEO.
Hartemink, who took up the position on 1 January 2023, has been with Spacewell for almost three years as Chief Revenue Officer and Chief Operating Officer. Prior to Spacewell, he held various leadership roles in Dun & Bradstreet, a global provider of business decision data and analytics, and was responsible for Sales Consultancy for Altares Dun & Bradstreet from 2016 to 2020.
Spacewell offers smart building and agile workspace management solutions including an AI-powered energy management platform. Last year, the company launched a workplace suite integrating its entire portfolio. The focus for the coming years will be on moving towards a full SaaS solution and scaling up the business to enable more customers to benefit from a fully integrated building management software.
Hartemink will report directly to César Flores Rodríguez, Chief Division Officer Operate & Manage and Digital Twin at the Nemetschek Group, who said of the appointment: “We are very glad to announce Wouter as the new CEO of Spacewell. He has a deep understanding of the business and market and is extremely trusted by our people. He is the right leader for the next phase of Spacewell’s journey to become a fully scalable SaaS provider. Also, his approach to customers and people makes him a perfect fit to steer the company through the challenging economic and geopolitical conditions.”
Hartemink commented: “In 2022 Spacewell was rightly recognised as a leader in both IWMS and Smart Building solutions for its excellent portfolio. I am very excited to build on this success and further drive the adoption of building management software in the industry, for a more efficient and sustainable built environment.”
Hartemink succeeds Germon Knoop, who left the company at the end of 2022 for personal reasons.
