Marc Ronchetti – Group Chief Executive
03 April 2023
Marc Ronchetti today becomes Group Chief Executive of Halma, the global group of life-saving technology companies.
As announced in June 2022, Marc becomes Halma’s 4th Group Chief Executive, succeeding Andrew Williams who last week retired after 18 years in the role.
Marc’s first working day as Group Chief Executive is the culmination of a planned succession. Marc joined Halma in 2016 as Group Financial Controller and was appointed as Chief Financial Officer in 2018.
To enable an orderly handover, Marc became Chief Executive Designate in June 2022 and in January 2023 Steve Gunning became Halma’s new Chief Financial Officer.
Since joining Halma, Marc has played a vital role in protecting and evolving the Group’s Sustainable Growth Model, articulating its purpose and culture, and overseeing more than 35 acquisitions.
Marc said: “It is a huge privilege to lead a business with such a strong purpose and inclusive culture. Our purpose is to grow a safer cleaner healthier future for everyone, every day. This has never been more relevant as our global group of companies help their customers address some of the big challenges of our time, to protect lives and the environment. I am immensely proud of everything we have delivered in the past, I believe we are well placed for the future and I’m excited about the opportunities ahead of us.”
