Ericsson Canada has appointed Nishant Grover as President of Ericsson Canada, effective immediately. Grover takes over from Jeanette Irekvist, who has led Ericsson Canada since 2020 and will be returning to Sweden.
“I am honoured to step into the role of President of Ericsson Canada and contribute to Ericsson’s continued legacy here as a trusted partner in Canada’s 5G ecosystem,” says Nishant Grover. “Canada and Ericsson are both leaders in many important fields including AI, quantum and advanced mobile network research and Ericsson’s world-class R&D facilities in Ottawa and Montreal play a central role in our global innovation efforts. I’m excited to work closely with our team, our partners, and our customers to collectively shape the networks of the future in Canada.”
Grover brings 18 years of Ericsson experience to the role, including senior leadership positions across customer facing and product organizations.
