Celia Pelaz will resign as a member of the Management Board of Hensoldt AG at the end of August 31 and will leave the company. According to a press release issued by the company a few days ago, “the Supervisory Board of Hensoldt and Celia Pelaz have reached an agreement by mutual consent”.
Celia Pelaz has been a member of the Management Board since July 1, 2021, initially as Chief Strategy Officer and since April 1 of this year as Chief Operating Officer. “The Supervisory Board would like to thank Celia Pelaz for her great services to Hensoldt and for her many years of successful commitment to the company. Ms. Pelaz played a key role in the carve-out of Hensoldt from the Airbus Group and the successful IPO in 2020.
