A new chapter for Xentara – At Connection Day 2026, we shared some exciting news with our community.
We’re delighted to welcome Andreas Geiss as Chief AI Officer at Xentara. Andreas brings more than 25 years of experience at the intersection of industrial automation, digital transformation, Industrial IoT, and AI. His career includes senior leadership roles at Siemens, where he shaped businesses in automation, IoT and the Digital Enterprise sector, and most recently at Aleph Alpha, where he focused on bringing sovereign AI into manufacturing and industrial environments.
As industrial AI moves from experimentation to deployment, we’re doubling down on our mission to make AI practical for the factory floor. Andreas brings deep expertise at the intersection of AI, software, and industrial automation, and will play a key role in shaping the next generation of Xentara’s software-defined automation platform.
This is more than a new leadership announcement – it’s another step towards accelerating the convergence of IT, OT, and AI in manufacturing. Welcome to the team, Andreas. We’re excited for what we’ll build together.
