Schneider Electric appoints new VP of industry business
Schneider Electric has appointed Philippe Rambach as the new vice president (VP) of industry business. Rambach brings with him over 15 years’ experience in senior management positions and has professional experience in manufacturing, research and development, program management and business management across a range of industries.
The next few years are crucial for Rambach as Schneider Electric develops synergies across the multiple solution and service domains of its organisation, while at the same time implements an aggressive growth strategy for its products.
Stephen Coop, zone president Pacific, Schneider Electric, commented, “As Australia’s economic environment moves through a significant period of change brought about by factors such as commodity prices, social/environmental pressures and a shift in global demand for Australian products and resources, industry is increasingly looking to optimise existing assets. Philippe’s appointment will help Schneider Electric deliver best-of-breed solutions and products that can help manufacturing and critical infrastructure operations to maximise the performance of their existing plants and facilities.”
Prior to his appointment as VP for industry business, Rambach spent the last few years as a VP for Schneider Electric in France across the variable frequency drives business and the intelligent electronic devices business. Before this, he spent a substantial period of time in Areva T&D before it was sold to Schneider Electric. He has also held senior posts at Johnson Controls and Sagem (Safran group). Rambach is graduated from the École Polytechnique in France.
