German technology group Rohde & Schwarz has announced leadership changes within its Technology Systems Division. Hansjörg Herrbold and Andreas Hägele are set to assume the roles of Executive Vice Presidents Technology Systems, effective July 1, 2026.

Hägele possesses significant expertise in critical infrastructure and physical security. During his tenure, he established the Microwave Imaging business unit and was instrumental in the success of the R&S QPS security scanner, which is deployed at over 2,000 airport checkpoints worldwide. Previously, he held a managing director role at a digital security firm.

In their new capacities, Herrbold and Hägele will both be members of the Rohde & Schwarz Corporate Management. The company, founded over 90 years ago, operates globally in test & measurement, technology systems, and network & cybersecurity.
