“It’s a great pleasure for me to welcome Marco to our management team.

Hubert will be tasked broadly with undertaking the responsibility of developing Smartmatic’s opportunities throughout EMEA, in particular, those involving its electoral solutions business.

“I’m delighted to join Smartmatic’s passionate, committed and knowledgeable team. I welcome the opportunity of working closely with electoral commissions and governments across the region, to help them evaluate and prepare for the adoption of the most sensible solutions for better-run elections”, Huberts said.

According to the company, Hubert was previously CEO for companies including Cyclomedia and Anteryon. Before that, he spent 22 years with Alcatal-Lucent, where he held many roles, including President Northern Europe, President of the Business Division Optical Transmission and CEO of Alcatel Benelux.
