Nano Dimension – a digital manufacturing leader – announced the appointment of Ofir Baharav as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. This strategic move highlights the company’s commitment to swiftly realizing merger synergies, restoring profitability, and delivering substantial shareholder value.
The Board of Directors, having worked closely with Baharav as Chairman, recognized his qualifications. Baharav’s track record in transformation and innovation, and background in capital equipment for the electronics industry, additive manufacturing, and 3D printing technologies make him an ideal candidate.
Baharav has nearly three decades of experience in capital equipment, spanning additive manufacturing and electronics. His previous 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 optimization, and accelerated growth.
The board thanked Julien Lederman for his strong leadership and execution, having stepped into the role of Interim CEO in the most challenging of times. As Nano Dimension’s Chief Business Officer, Lederman will lead the corporate transformation with a strategic focus on post-merger integration, communications, and investor relations, along with driving a systematic operational planning and performance tracking framework to drive organizational excellence and accountability.
Zivi Nedivi (President) and Tomer Pinchas (Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer) are departing the company. And Baharav has resigned from the Board, while Robert Pons, a director since December 2024, becomes Chairman of the board.

His deep industry expertise and leadership will be instrumental in navigating the integration, achieving rapid profitability, and delivering significant value to our shareholders.”
