New Chief of Staff for NCI Agency

“NATO’s Digital Transformation is Key”

NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCI Agency) Chief of Staff Maj Gen Göksel Sevindik handed his role over to Maj Gen Hans Folmer on 3 March. The agency held a ceremony at NATO HQ in Brussels to mark the occasion.

NCI Agency General Manager, Ludwig Decamps, said: “MGEN Sevindik, you can leave knowing that you have made a significant contribution to the Agency and to NATO. You have been a key leader within the Agency’s executive team, guiding us in smart and people-centred decision-making. Thank you for your dedication to this Agency, and to NATO.

Maj Gen Folmer was formerly Deputy Commander and Chief of Staff of the NATO Communications and Information Systems Information Group (NCISG) in Mons, Belgium. In this role, he was also appointed Acting Commander of NCISG and Deputy Chief of Staff Cyberspace at Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) for a time. Prior to his most recent role at NCISG, he served as the first Commander of the Netherlands Defence Cyber Command, after working as Commander of the Cyber Task Force, tasked to implement cyber programmes in the Dutch armed forces.

Exiting Chief of Staff, Maj Gen Sevindik, said: “The NCI Agency has extremely talented, capable staff, who execute difficult, challenging projects every day. Their work is absolutely essential to NATO. Thanks to NCI Agency staff, Allies have secure communications during operations and exercises, protected networks to share information and essential technology to defend the Alliance from ballistic missile threats. It has been an honour and a privilege to serve as Chief of Staff of the NCI Agency.”

Incoming Chief of Staff, Maj Gen Hans Folmer, commented: “I will continue with what you have started. Continue with the great journey the NCI Agency is in. Continue to optimise, to modernise and to transform. NATO’s digital transformation is key for the success of the Alliance.”
