Winnweiler/Langmeil, Germany, 9. September 2013.
Dr. Ralf Hinkel, founder and majority shareholder of MOBOTIX AG, hands over
for personal reasons the chairmanship of the board to the current Chief
Sales Officer (CSO) Dr. Magnus Ekerot effective October 1, 2013. Dr. Ekerot
will head the company as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) with the
responsibility for Sales and Marketing departments. Together with Dr.
Oliver Gabel as Chief Technical Officer (CTO) and Mr. Klaus Gesmann as
Chief Financial Officer (CFO), the Management Board will consist of three
persons in the future.
'By handing over the chairmanship of the board to Dr. Ekerot, I am now
carrying out the long-prepared change in the top management of our company,
which I had already announced in September 2010 when Dr. Ekerot joined the
company,' said CEO Dr. Ralf Hinkel.
Dr. Magnus Ekerot had left his position as the General Manager of a
subsidiary of the publicly listed Swedish display manufacturer Beijer
Electronics Products AB of Sweden to move to the Palatinate in Rheinland
Pfalz. Because of his previous leading position at the camera manufacturer
AXIS Communications AB, he has brought extensive experience to the business
operations of MOBOTIX AG. In the past years, Dr. Ekerot has been
responsible for and successfully developed the further globalization of the
MOBOTIX sales structures, especially by implementing the Global Partner
Network.
Dr. Hinkel will continue to be involved in the company as the majority
shareholder and therefore will have significant influence on the company
strategy and product development. Furthermore, Dr. Hinkel emphasizes that
there are no sales negotiations taking place at the moment and no
intentions to sell.
