Klausner named Siemens' Kuwait chief

KUWAIT, October 9, 2016

Siemens, a global technology powerhouse, has appointed Herbert Klausner (53) as the new chief executive officer of the company’s operations in Kuwait.

Klausner joins the regional management team from the Power and Gas Division at Siemens in Germany, where he headed the large gas turbine Berlin operations.

His career at Siemens spans 34 years, including positions in Kuwait, Indonesia, Austria and Germany. He takes over from Adrian Wood, who moved to Qatar to oversee Siemens business there.

“We are pleased to welcome Klausner to the regional management team. Having worked in Kuwait previously, his knowledge of the market and customers’ needs are invaluable,” stated Dietmar Siersdorfer, CEO of Siemens Middle East and UAE.

"We look forward to continuing our growth story in Kuwait under Herbert’s leadership," he added.

Klausner started his career with Siemens in 1979 in Austria. Since then, he has worked across different teams and countries. His current post marks a return after eight years to Kuwait, where he held the position of group manager for power generation, transmission and distribution, automation and drives, industry solutions, and Siemens Building Technologies.

On his appointment, Klausner said: "This is an exciting time in Kuwait, as the country’s vision for 2035 seeks to strengthen the economy and support social and human development."

"With a focus on electrification, automation and digitalisation, Siemens will continue its role as a technology partner, providing reliable and innovative solutions that assist Kuwait’s long-term plans," he added.

Siemens has been active in Kuwait since 1959 and has been heavily involved in a number of key infrastructure projects across the country.-TradeArabia News Service
