Bernhard Jucker to
retire from executive roles after distinguished career at ABB
Jucker
to continue as Chairman of Board of Directors of ABB Germany; successor will be
announced following an orderly selection process.
ABB announced today
that Bernhard Jucker (62), President of the Europe region and long term Member
of the Group Executive Committee, has decided to retire from his executive
roles effective June 30, 2017, after a distinguished career at ABB spanning
more than 35 years. His successor will be announced following an orderly
selection process.
As communicated in
the press today, Jucker has been proposed to become chairman of the board of a
well-known Swiss industry leader, where he has served as a member of the board
of directors since 2016.
Jucker will continue
to serve ABB as Chairman of the Board of Directors of ABB Germany and as an
advisor to the senior leadership team.
Jucker, a Swiss
citizen, joined ABB in 1979, after obtaining a Master’s degree in Electrical
Engineering from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich.
During the course of his career at ABB, he managed several global businesses
serving customers in the utilities sector as well as industry before becoming
country manager of ABB Germany in 2003, and Chairman of the Management Board of
ABB Germany. In 2006, he was appointed Member of the Group Executive Committee
and President of ABB’s Power Products division, which he led successfully for a
decade to market leadership, before becoming President of ABB’s Europe Region
and Chairman of the Divisional Transformation Team in 2015.
In a joint statement,
ABB Chairman Peter Voser and CEO Ulrich Spiesshofer said: “Today, we would
already like to extend our warmest, heartfelt thank you to Bernhard for his
many years of commitment to ABB, his continued exceptional performance and his
tremendous contribution, which we know we can count on until he moves into the
next phase of his professional life in July of this year.”
