We’re excited to share the formal appointment of Nadia Nilsen to the Group CEO role at LightWare LiDAR as part of the planned succession allowing former CEO James Portman to focus more exclusively on product innovation as CTO. Already, Nadia has made a mark with her leadership and we are looking forward to this next stage for LightWare.

As a majority women-led firm, we recognize the significance of visible female leadership in traditionally male-dominated industries. We are therefore inspired by Nadia’s achievements and the example she sets for other technology and industrial sectors, encouraging girls and women to pursue and excel in STEM-related fields. Watch this space!
