Roland Krueger

Roland joined Dyson in 2019 to lead the Dyson automotive project and latterly has been COO of the Dyson Group, sitting on the Dyson Board of Directors. Roland is a former President of Infiniti, a major division of Nissan responsible for their premium cars, and previously held roles at BMW. He will take up the role of CEO with immediate effect.

Roland succeeds Jim Rowan who, after almost 8 years with Dyson, has decided to stand down.

Sir James Dyson, Founder and Chief Engineer of Dyson, said:

“The world is going through a most turbulent period in its history, posing unprecedented challenges. Dyson people are responding valiantly and I am grateful for all their efforts. I can think of no one better than Roland to assume leadership, grow Dyson’s ambitions in new products, and transform the way we support our owners.

Roland’s engineering background in the complex world of car development, manufacture and marketing, combined with his knowledge of Dyson R&D and global operations, make him very well qualified to lead Dyson and he will take up his role with immediate effect. I am very grateful to Jim for his hard work during the last seven years”
