After celebrating 22 incredible years at Logitech, I’m humbled and energized to step into my new role as Chief Commercial Officer, leading our global commercial organization, starting April 1. What began as a key account manager role in Switzerland has turned into a journey of growth, learning and inspiration. Every step has been about embracing change, seizing opportunity and building something lasting together. To Quin Liu, a big thank you for your continued partnership over the years. I’m honored to follow in your footsteps. Your positive impact on the business and me will last for years to come. To our amazing partners and customers who have joined me along the way, I thank you. Your trust, collaboration and challenges have pushed us forward, creating breakthrough innovations and delighting our consumers. We’ve shared proud accomplishments and moments of real celebration that remind me why relationships are the true engine of our shared success. To my teams across Logitech, you continue to redefine what sales and marketing excellence look like. I’ve always believed that creativity costs nothing, and this team has proven that creativity is one of our greatest superpowers. Together, we’ve built trend-setting programs like our flagship brand events, Logitech G PLAY and Logi WORK, forged meaningful alliances, and created complementary, winning teams. Seeing how our organization has evolved across Europe and Asia Pacific fills me with pride and immense gratitude. Of course, a special thank you to Hanneke Faber for your trust and faith in my abilities, and for giving me this incredible opportunity. Partnering with you over the past two and a half years has been incredibly rewarding. Also, I’d like to thank Guy Gecht, the Logitech board and Elaine Laird for your guidance and support. I am pleased Zakir Karim has accepted to step up as my successor, leaving Europe well placed for continued success under his leadership. Looking ahead, in my new role as Chief Commercial Officer, I am confident our global commercial organization will stay “humble and hungry”, building on all we’ve achieved to date. As we bring our Logitech for Business and Consumer organizations closer together, my focus is on spearheading our go-to-market strategy and driving sustainable growth across all our channels. To our partners and customers: I look forward to working closely with you to win together across Work and Play. I can’t wait to see you all in the markets soon!
