The board of Heliospectra AB (publ) announced that they have appointed Bonny Heeren as permanent CEO. Bonny was appointed interim CEO on January 1, 2022. Following a transitional year for Heliospectra, on both a strategic and operational level, he has accepted the position as permanent CEO and will assume his new role as of March 1, 2023.

Following his appointment in January 2022, Bonny took a critical look at Heliospectra, its strategy, and its offerings. It resulted in several organizational changes, leaving a streamlined and agile company, more in tune with the industry, and significantly decreased operational costs. As a result, Heliospectra is now ready to reclaim its position as a leader in smart lighting with a robust wireless solution that brings commercial growers' high-quality plants, control, and significant energy savings.

Bonny Heeren started as a board member of Heliospectra in May 2021. Before that, he held several different senior positions within the Saint-Gobain Group, most recently as division manager for Horticulture. Prior to that he was for several years the CFO of different activities within Saint-Gobain.

He has also invested in several start-up AgTech companies. His background has allowed him to build a solid experience in the global horticulture and greenhouse market and an extensive network of growers and suppliers in the Netherlands.
