PADERBORN, Germany — Jürgen Wilde, a member of the four-person board of directors of Wincor Nixdorf AG, has announced his resignation, effective following the Jan. 28, 2008, annual general meeting.
Wilde, who is responsible for the company's retail segment, cited health reasons. The seat will not be filled, reducing the number of the board to three.
Dr. Herbert Machill will succeed Wilde at the helm of Wincor Nixdorf's international business with retail companies. Machill, who currently is in charge of industry line services at T-Systems Enterprise Services, will take his new position Oct. 1.
"We are very pleased that in Dr. Machill we have found an IT industry expert who will enrich our management team with his experience in solutions and professional services," said Eckard Heidloff, Wincor Nixdorf's president and CEO.
Heidloff also praised Wilde.
"Jürgen Wilde has not only built up our retail business successfully but has also played a crucial part in shaping Wincor Nixdorf as a whole," he said.
