Executive Overview

I joined ABB from university and never looked back. What inspires me most is how our expertise and leading technologies are helping our customers, across all industries and geographies, become more productive, efficient, and sustainable. ​ I have experienced first-hand how we empower our people to drive their career. From graduating as an engineer and starting in sales for an ABB local business, all the way to becoming the company’s CEO. ​ If you are looking to grow professionally and personally while having a bigger impact, there is no better place for you than ABB. ​
