Dew became CIO in September 2006 after Linde Group paid £8.2bn for UK gases company BOC, where Dew was already CIO.

He has been replaced by Ronald Geiger, who has taken up a role as head of group information services.

Dew had been helping the company to meet its aggressive efficiency targets of €250m by the end of this year and he had been tasked with moving to a standardised global IT model, including a single global SAP platform.

Geiger has 20 years of experience in the IT industry and has worked in senior management roles.

He recently served as a member of the board of SAP Systems Integration and head of SAP field sales for Europe.
