Mr. Andrew will report directly to Philips Chief Executive Officer Frans van Houten.

I’m confident Philips will benefit tremendously from Jim’s experience in the domain of strategy development, innovation and business transformation. At the same time, I wish to already express my appreciation to Gottfried for his commitment and his passionate contribution to make our company more customer-focused. He also deserves a lot of credit for his role in renewing our Corporate Technologies organization, strengthening the focus of our innovation efforts on market and customer needs.”
