OpenTAS announces a strengthened leadership model with the appointment of Monica Hildinger as Co-CEO. Hildinger will jointly lead the OpenTAS Group alongside Harald Wentsch, who continues in his role as CEO. This strategic decision marks the beginning of an ambitious new chapter for the organisation as it accelerates innovation and operational excellence across its global activities.
In her expanded role, Hildinger now oversees Technology in addition to Product Management and Go-to-Market functions. Her mandate is to unify product strategy with platform engineering and IT operations—aligning architecture, data, security, and delivery under one coordinated vision. This integrated approach is designed to drive measurable improvements in throughput, safety, compliance, and total cost of ownership, supporting OpenTAS’ transition from automation to autonomy.
Before joining OpenTAS, Hildinger spent more than a decade at Siemens in senior leadership roles across the process industries. As Head of Digitalisation, she shaped digital strategies for the Chemicals, Glass, and Oil & Gas sectors, with a strong focus on advancing AI applications in process automation. Earlier, as Product Lifecycle Manager, she guided portfolio development for tank farm and terminal management systems. Her extensive hands-on experience in Oil & Gas terminal operations, particularly across the Middle East, equips her with deep operational insight and a sharp understanding of customer needs.
Together, Harald Wentsch and Monica Hildinger bring a complementary blend of expertise, vision, and leadership. As Co-CEOs, they are committed to steering OpenTAS toward a future defined by innovation, collaboration, and sustained excellence.
