Claypaky announced that Marcus Graser is, with immediate effect, the new CEO of the Company. Graser takes the place of Pio Nahum who, starting from 1 October 2019, will retire after spending 30 years in the lighting industry
It’s Marcus Graser, 42, the new CEO of the historic Claypaky: experienced executive coming from OSRAM, mother company and sole shareholder of Claypaky, where he spent the last fifteen years in a variety of different roles. When Claypaky was acquired, he led the OSRAM side of the integration and, since that time, entertainment has been one of his business focal points.
“I am proud of having become the new CEO of Claypaky”, was the first statement by Marcus Graser, “and to oversee the exciting progress we anticipate in the years to come. I feel however that this is the right time to express, on behalf of an entire Claypaky community, our sincere gratitude to Pio Nahum for his excellent contributions as well as pragmatic, visionary and passionate leadership that allowed the company to achieve important results.”
In short, a settlement in the name of gratitude for the work done by the predecessor, and perfect knowledge of the environment.
Pio Nahum, who has spent the last 10 years at Claypaky, says: “I am glad to hand my responsibility over to Marcus; we have been working together since January and he has acquired a perfect understanding of our organization, our market and our business. I am confident that Marcus will carry out his new assignment with the utmost professionalism, injecting the enthusiasm and attitude to innovation that are part of his personality.”
Claypaky changes at the top, therefore, but the continuity of intent and commitment is guaranteed.
