- Build strong governance and decision frameworks that enable cross-functional collaboration, resolve conflicts, and ensure scalable execution
What We're Looking For
- Proven ability to lead large, global organizations at executive level, with strong stakeholder alignment and conflict resolution skills
- Deep expertise in product portfolio and platform strategy within power electronics, embedded software, or related industrial technologies
- Strong track record of translating strategy into measurable business results, including innovation, cost, and time-to-market improvements
- Experience driving engineering transformation initiatives (e.g., digital engineering, DevOps, AI adoption, PLM systems)
- Ability to balance strategic vision with operational execution, making high-impact decisions in complex and uncertain environments
