Dyson Announces Leadership Transition

In a significant development, Dyson has announced a strategic change in its leadership. Roland Krueger, serving as CEO for the past four years, will take on a new role on Dyson Holdings’ Board from February 2024. Hanno Kirner, formerly with TATA Group, will succeed Krueger as CEO, also starting in February 2024. Kirner’s diverse background may be a hint to Dyson’s new strategic era.

Executive Management Board member at Jaguar Land Rover
Chief Financial Officer at Rolls-Royce plc’s Land and Sea Division
Chief Financial Officer at Aston Martin Lagonda
Director of Finance and IT at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars
Sir James Dyson on Leadership Succession

Sir James Dyson emphasized the importance of leadership succession for the company’s future. He praised Krueger for guiding Dyson through challenging times and transforming its operations. Dyson is confident that Kirner, with his extensive experience, will propel Dyson into new realms of innovation and growth.

Kirner’s Battery Tech Expertise and Dyson’s Future

Dyson’s Expanded Focus under Kirner

Under Kirner’s leadership, Dyson is expected to delve deeper into battery technology and renewable energy markets. Kirner’s expertise aligns well with Dyson’s long-standing manufacturing experience. This synergy could redefine Dyson’s product portfolio and push the company into emerging industries.

Kirner’s automotive background and battery expertise also hint at Dyson’s potential entry into the electric vehicle (EV) market. Dyson’s electric vehicle project was paused in 2019.
