Carl Ennis is leaving his role as chief executive of Siemens UK.
Ennis, who has spent more than 25 years at the technology giant, will leave on April 30.
He started his career at Rochdale Training 41 years ago and was appointed CEO of Siemens UK in January 2020.
During his career with Siemens, Ennis has worked in the UK and internationally and has played a significant role in the ongoing success and growth of the business.
As CEO of Siemens UK, he has worked closely with customers, partners and colleagues across the region and beyond.
Matthias Rebellius, managing board member of Siemens AG and CEO of Smart Infrastructure, said: “On behalf of Siemens, I want to thank Carl Ennis for more than two decades of service.
“Carl’s dedication to our customers paved the way for lasting relationships founded on trust, innovation and partnership.”
Commenting on his decision, Ennis said: “It has been a real privilege to be part of Siemens for so long and to work alongside many talented people.
“I am incredibly grateful for the support, trust and friendship I have received over the years, and very proud of what we have achieved together.
“As someone who aspired to be a car mechanic, making it to country CEO of one of the most influential technology companies on the planet is pretty cool.
“A formal process is now underway to identify my successor. I am not going just yet, and there will be more to come over the next few weeks. I am looking forward to seeing as many colleagues, customers and partners as possible before I step down.”
In January, Ennis warned businesses not to obsess about AI until they have identified the problem, when he spoke at Rochdale Development Agency’s Pioneers Innovation Forum.
He said: “Whether you are a business or an individual, you need to start with what problem you are trying to solve and how you can deploy technology to solve it.
“The mistake many people make is that they have a shiny new tool and are looking for a problem to solve. That is the wrong way around.”
