Tuesday, July 5, 2022
NACKA STRAND, Sweden, June 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hexagon AB, a global leader in digital reality solutions, combining sensors, software and autonomous technologies, today announced that Paolo Guglielmini will succeed Ola Rollén as President and CEO of Hexagon AB, effective 31 December 2022.
Gun Nilsson has decided to step down as CEO for Hexagon's principal shareholder MSAB on 1 October and consequently leave her position as Chairman of Hexagon AB at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) 2023. MSAB, in consultation with Hexagon's nomination committee, has the intention to propose Ola Rollén as new Chairman of the Board at the AGM 2023.
Paolo Guglielmini, currently Hexagon's Chief Operating Officer (COO) and President of Hexagon's Manufacturing Intelligence (MI) division, has served in key roles since joining Hexagon in 2010, from strategy and business development to M&A and general management. He has been instrumental in expanding MI's focus towards software-centric quality data solutions, and with his team driving the business towards all-time-high performance in 2021. Prior to joining Hexagon, Guglielmini held positions at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Switzerland, and Accenture. He holds a Master of Science in Engineering and Master of Business Administration from IMD.
"I'm happy that we have found an internal solution for my succession which will bring long term stability and continuity but at the same time needed rejuvenation as we prepare this amazing company for the next big leap strategically," says Hexagon's President and CEO, Ola Rollén. "I have preoccupied myself with the well-being of Hexagon 24/7 for the last 22 years and it's a true privilege to be able to continue to follow the company's successful development as Chairman."
"On behalf of the Board of Directors and shareholders, I want to thank Ola for his incredible achievements throughout the years. Since joining Hexagon in 2000, he has grown the company from 150 MEUR market cap to a 30bn EUR multinational leader in digital solutions. He has brought tremendous value to both shareholders, industry, and society. I'm confident that Paolo will continue this journey, taking the company to the next level," says Hexagon's Chairman of the board, Gun Nilsson. "It's been an honor to follow this great company for more than 14 years as part of the Board of Directors, and the past 5 years as Chairman."
"I'm honoured by the opportunity to build upon the legacy that Ola and our team have created over the past two decades, and excited to lead Hexagon into the future. We are very well positioned to capitalise on the vast opportunities ahead, combining software, sensors and autonomous technologies to create sustainable value for our stakeholders," says Hexagon's COO and President of Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence, Paolo Guglielmini.
At the same time the following organisational changes will be made:

Weiss will report to Hexagon's President and CEO and be a part of the Executive Management Team.
