Ericsson appoints a new networks chief. Ericsson recently named David Hammarwall, an executive within its Americas division, to lead its Business Area Networks division. This change comes as the previous networks chief, Per Narvinger, is lined up to replace Borje Ekholm as CEO. Hammarwall is currently head of Customer Unit T-Mobile in Market Area Americas, a position he has held since 2023. He joined Ericsson in 2007 and worked in various roles including as the heads of Product Area Networks, Product Line Radio and Product Line 5G RAN. The appointment is due to take effect on 1 October 2026, when current Networks chief Narvinger steps into the role of CEO. Hammarwall will also join Ericsson's executive team. Narvinger said Hammarwall had been a key leader in driving Ericsson's technology. Hammarwall added he takes on leadership of the networks unit at an interesting time, "where Ericsson is truly setting a new standard for network intelligence with AI in RAN by bringing powerful AI capabilities to service providers". "I'm very much looking forward to working with all the talented Network employees and to meet customers and partners to create outstanding value." Image Credit: Ericsson
