New Group CEO at Element Logic
Ankush Malhotra has been appointed as the new Group CEO of technology and automation company Element Logic. He succeeds Dag-Adler Blakseth, who co-founded the company almost 40 years ago and is stepping back from day-to-day operations.
"I am very excited to be joining this great company. Element Logic has had an impressive growth journey and has big ambitions for its next chapter. I am thrilled to be part of this passionate group and look forward to creating value and driving the company forward in the months and years to come," says Ankush Malhotra.
Malhotra is based in London and brings relevant experience from his 18 years at Fluke Industrial, one of the world's largest companies in its industry. Here he held various positions in the US and UK, the last 4 years as President of the company. Malhotra takes over as the new CEO with immediate effect.
"Given the global expansion that the company is now aiming for, it is a natural time to pass on the baton. Ankush Malhotra is an ambitious and internationally experienced leader who knows what it takes to succeed as a global company. His leadership style and principles are well aligned with what we stand for and strive for at Element Logic. His extensive knowledge of running a growth company with varying degrees of complexity in a global market makes him the ideal choice for the next part of our journey," says Dag-Adler Blakseth, former Group CEO of Element Logic. He now assumes the role of Chairman of the Board.
