After 22 years with Hager Group, member of the Board of Directors and Chief Operating Officer (COO) Bertrand Schmitt will pursue his remarkable career outside of the company to lead another organisation as CEO.
Daniel Hager, CEO of Hager Group comments, “we sincerely thank Bertrand Schmitt for his commitment and contribution to the success of the company and wish him all the best for his new assignment.”
The position of COO will not be replaced. Instead, Hager Group will establish a Group Management Committee. The GMC will assist the Board of Directors in operational and strategic issues and drive the transformation of the company forward to reach its ambitious objectives. As such, the company sets the stage to remain a leading player in the electrical industry in the future.
The GMC will be composed of CEO Daniel Hager, who will head the Committee, the two Board members Philippe Ferragu (CGRO) and Franck Houdebert (CHRO) as well as three more top executives: François Lhomme (Senior Vice President Engineering & Operations), Mike Elbers (SVP Region Europe) and Pascal Dubreucq (SVP Region APAC – Asia, Pacific, Australia, China).
