New leadership of Technology Systems Division at Rohde & Schwarz

On July 1, 2026, Hansjörg Herrbold and Andreas Hägele will take over as Executive Vice Presidents Technology Systems at Rohde & Schwarz. They follow Dr. Luis Alejandro Orellano, who will leave the company on June 30 at his own request. The decision to establish a dual leadership position is a logical next step to align the division even more consistently with customers and markets.

Rohde & Schwarz relies on two experienced, entrepreneurial managers with a strategic vision. Hansjörg Herrbold and Andreas Hägele will strategically divide responsibility for the different topics of the Technology Systems Division.

Herrbold has more than 20 years of experience in defense at Rohde & Schwarz, providing comprehensive knowledge of customers and their requirements. Among other things, he led the naval communications segment on a long-term growth path. Most recently, he headed the Information and Business Technology Division and was a member of the group's Corporate Management in this role.

Hägele has extensive expertise in critical infrastructure and physical security. In his five years with Rohde & Schwarz, he has established the Microwave Imaging business unit and particularly led the R&S QPS security scanner to success. More than 2,000 scanners are now used at airports around the world to ensure secure, convenient passenger screening. Prior to that, he worked at a digital security company, where he was managing director and was responsible for several hundred million euros in revenue.

In their new position, Hansjörg Herrbold and Andreas Hägele will remain or become members of the Corporate Management of Rohde & Schwarz.
