Susanne Seitz, CEO of Buildings Business Unit at Siemens Smart Infrastructure
“Making existing and new buildings more sustainable
has never been more urgent. After all, buildings generate more than 40 percent
of annual global CO2 emissions and we have a responsibility to drive their
decarbonization,” said Matthias Rebellius, managing board member and CEO of
Smart Infrastructure. “Smarter buildings bring value to their owners, users,
operators and to the world around them. I am confident in the newly-formed
leadership team. Together with the combined expertise of almost 30,000 people globally,
we can take our leadership position in the buildings market to the next level
and pave the way to smart buildings of the future.”
The Buildings Business Unit works with customers
and with an expanding ecosystem of partners across more than 60 countries and
in key industries, including healthcare, data centers, higher education,
commercial real estate, pharmaceutical and life science, and food and beverage.
The business unit’s portfolio includes products for building control, fire
safety and security, automation and operation, data-driven services,
decarbonization programs and software, including Building X, Siemens’ scalable
digital building platform to digitalize, manage and optimize building
operations.
“I am excited to have the opportunity to grow this
dynamic business. With innovative technology we can accelerate the
transformation of buildings to make them smarter, self-adaptive and more
autonomous, harnessing the power of Artificial Intelligence, IT/OT convergence
and digital services. This supports our customers in reducing their emissions
and costs while improving user experience in buildings,” said Seitz.
Based in Zug, Switzerland, Seitz previously served
as the Head of Sales and Marketing at Siemens Smart Infrastructure, leading the
transformation towards digital sales and marketing globally. Prior to that, she
was Executive Vice President EMEA at Landis+ Gyr and Member of the Group
Executive Management. For some 16 years preceding this, Seitz held different
positions at Siemens, including Head of Strategy and M&A, Head of Security,
Vice President for the global buildings systems and solutions business. She is
a Swiss native and holds a Master’s degree in Environmental Technology from ETH
Zurich and an Executive MBA from the University of St. Gallen.
