(PRLeap.com) Berlin/Roermond - On 1 January, Ingo Kästner, Managing Director of PMG Presse-Monitor, will also take over the management of X-CAGO. The Dutch company is a leading international specialist for data and content conversion in the international publishing industry. The previous Managing Director and founder, Koos Hussem, will be taking his well-deserved retirement at the turn of the year, but will continue to be available to the company with his expertise. Ingo Kästner has headed PMG Presse-Monitor since 2019. He played a leading role in initiating the acquisition of X-CAGO in 2021. Since then, he has been responsible for the Dutch company's business together with Koos Hussem.
Olivera Kipcic, Chairwoman of the PMG shareholders' meeting and shareholder representative of Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, emphasises:
'Ingo Kästner is an accomplished manager and expert in digital content marketing. In recent years, he has created new opportunities to successfully market high-quality content digitally. Under his leadership, PMG and X-CAGO have become a strong strategic unit. His takeover of the management is the next logical step in continuing this success story.'
Ingo Kästner bids Koos Hussem farewell with the following words: 'I would like to thank Koos warmly for the trusting collaboration over the last few years. With his commitment and vision, he has made X-CAGO one of the most sought-after providers of content management and data conversion since it was founded in 2000. It is an honour for me to continue on this successful path.
Together with his first-class team, we will continue to expand X-CAGO's role as a technical pioneer and offer content producers worldwide perfect solutions for successful digital marketing.'
