Baharav brings nearly three decades of experience in capital equipment, spanning Additive Manufacturing and electronics. His prior roles as CEO of Maxify, VP Products at Stratasys, CEO at Xjet, EVP Products at Credence Systems, and President at Optonics, demonstrate a consistent pattern of driving strategic vision, technological innovation, cost optimisation, and accelerated growth.

“We are confident that Mr Baharav’s leadership will drive the rapid and decisive actions necessary to achieve profitability and refocus the company,” said David Stehlin, a Board Director, “His combined expertise in electronics and Additive Manufacturing is uniquely suited to our strategic direction, ensuring we capitalise on the significant opportunities ahead.”

As Nano Dimension’s Chief Business Officer, Julien Lederman will be leading the corporate transformation with a strategic focus on post-merger integration, communications, investor relations, along with spearheading a systematic operational planning and performance tracking framework to drive organisational excellence and accountability.

“It is a privilege to lead Nano Dimension in creating value for shareholders, working with a talented cohort of colleagues and partnering with industry leading customers. Nano Dimension, which now includes Desktop Metal and is expected to include Markforged, is composed of exciting opportunities to build an enduring digital manufacturing leader. Strategic integration efforts and transformations are underway, creating an exceptional company – one with a sustainable business model built upon innovative technologies focused on high value applications for digital manufacturing that will deliver financial results. I want to thank Mr Lederman for his leadership during this time, and I look forward to working closely with him.”

Zivi Nedivi, President, and Tomer Pinchas, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, are departing the company. Baharav has resigned from the Board, while Robert Pons, a director since December 2024, will become Chairman.
