FIMER Group announces new CEO

Global inverter solutions provider FIMER Group has announced the appointment of Alessio Facondo as its new CEO, effective from 1 April 2020. Filippo Carzaniga was declared Chairman and Member of FIMER’s board of directors.

The appointments follow FIMER’s acquisition of ABB’s solar inverter business and form part of a broader strategy by the Group to strengthen its management team and boost company growth on a global scale.

“I am pleased to welcome Alessio Facondo to the FIMER Group,” FIMER Group Chairman Filippo Carzaniga said.

“We want to strengthen our senior team, so that the company is well placed to drive opportunities and growth for the future.

“Alessio’s international experience and leadership with large and complex organisations, together with his strong entrepreneurial attitude, were key factors in appointing him as CEO.”

Commenting on his appointment, Facondo said, “I am pleased to join FIMER just after the acquisition of ABB’s solar inverter business. It is an exciting new challenge with strong business opportunities in a dynamic market.

“Together with Filippo Carzaniga and the senior team we will reshape the new FIMER, taking the best from FIMER's strong heritage and the global strength of our newly acquired business, to create synergies and leverage market opportunities, so that we are well positioned to be the leading industry player.”

In addition, the board has further strengthened its senior management team with the appointment of a new Chief People Officer and Group CFO. New expertise from the former ABB solar inverter business has also joined the team.

“We welcome this influx of talent from outside the business, including our new colleagues from ABB,” Carzaniga said.

“With these appointments we are confident that FIMER will be well placed to build a brighter solar future.”
