Leading Global Defence Supplier | Global | Confidential Mandate
One of the fastest-growing industrial groups in Europe — and a globally leading defence supplier — is seeking a CEO – Electronics to lead and scale a strategically critical business unit.
This is not a maintenance mandate.
This is a scale-up leadership opportunity in a structurally undersupplied defence electronics market.
The business unit is already performing strongly in its core markets and holds advanced capabilities in high-demand electronic components and systems. Backed by a financially robust and ambitious Group, the platform is positioned for accelerated organic growth and targeted M&A.
Your Mandate
As CEO of the Electronics division, you will:
* Hold full end-to-end P&L responsibility
* Define and execute the growth strategy
* Lead all core functions (Sales, Operations, Finance, HR, R&D)
* Expand international defence customer relationships (including NATO and governmental stakeholders)
* Scale industrial and development capabilities
* Drive commercial expansion organically and via acquisitions
You will report directly to Group leadership and play a key role in shaping the future of this high-growth platform.
Your Profile
* Proven CEO or Business Unit leadership experience with full P&L accountability
* Strong track record in defence electronics (non negotiable)
* Established relationships within NATO and international defence ecosystems
* Experience leading complex, multidisciplinary industrial organisations
* Commercially sharp, strategic, and execution-driven
Why Consider This Role?
* True executive autonomy
* Direct strategic impact within a global defence leader
* High-growth environment with strong capital backing
* Opportunity to build a critical asset in a geopolitically relevant sector
