Freddie de Wall will now lead the business of the leading European concert and festival Promoter alongside founder and CEO Folkert Koopmans and CEO Stephan Thanscheidt.
De Wall, who previously served as the company`s COO, will be responsible, among other things, for driving the group`s international business forward.
De Wall is a music manager with many years of experience in international management positions in the music industry. He began his career in the early 1980s as a promoter and tour manager for international artists, spent 20 years in management positions and as managing director for major record companies, and then worked successfully as an artist manager.
De Wall has been working for FKP Scorpio since 2017 and has developed structures for the group`s international business during this time. As CEO, he will now further expand the group`s international strategy and planning. In addition to the operational business and managing FKP Scorpio`s ten international branches, he will also continue to be responsible for Digital, IT, Sustainability, and Legal.
"I am delighted that I can open another chapter in my role for FKP Scorpio with this new responsibility," says Freddie de Wall. "We have not only grown strongly as a team in recent years, but have also consistently developed business areas in new markets. I am proud that I can continue to drive this development forward and would like to thank Folkert and Stephan for the trust they have placed in me with this step."
Folkert Koopmans comments: "I met Freddie back in the 1980s when he arranged the headliner for a festival I was organizing. Today, he is not only an experienced leader, but also a valued colleague within the group. His international management experience and excellent network will undoubtedly benefit him as CEO as well, in order to continue to consistently align our growing structures for the future."
Stephan Thanscheidt agrees: "Our ongoing success requires good leadership. The three of us are ideally positioned to continue to grow strategically and healthily across the entire group."
