ANYbotics, a global leader in AI-driven robotic inspection solutions, announced the appointment of Thierry Obédé as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO).
Thierry joins ANYbotics with over 30 years of experience driving revenue growth across complex industrial technology environments. Most recently, he held senior commercial leadership roles at Hexagon Asset Lifecycle Intelligence (formerly Infor EAM), as well as Siemens Digital Industries Software and GE Digital. During his tenure at Infor and Hexagon, Thierry delivered exceptional results, notably spearheading the EMEA region’s successful transition to a recurring SaaS model.
At ANYbotics, Thierry will lead all commercial operations, including sales, marketing, business development, customer success, and go-to-market strategy. His leadership will be pivotal as ANYbotics scales its global presence across asset-intensive sectors, including Oil & Gas, Chemicals, Energy & Utilities, and Metals & Materials.
Péter Fankhauser, CEO & Co-Founder at ANYbotics, said: "Thierry has consistently led advancements in industrial technology, from Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) and Enterprise Asset Management to Industrial IoT and AI-driven predictive maintenance. Joining ANYbotics is a natural next step on that journey. Robotics-based inspection brings these fields together and will define industrial performance in the coming decade. As we move from innovation to global deployment, Thierry’s expertise in scaling revenue will be key to delivering lasting value to our customers worldwide. I look forward to working with him as we expand our reach and deliver quality at scale."
Thierry Obédé, Chief Revenue Officer at ANYbotics, said: "After 30 years in industrial tech, I know when a company is solving the right problem at the right moment, and that’s ANYbotics. We go far beyond just selling robots; we deliver an end-to-end solution that automates complex inspections and transforms live field data into actionable intelligence. By feeding directly into Asset Performance Management, we drive critical decisions that define safety, efficiency, and sustainability.”
“For asset-intensive industries, the scale of assets to monitor, the pressure to reduce human exposure to hazardous environments, and the cost of unplanned downtime have made autonomous inspection a strategic imperative, not an option. I joined ANYbotics because the technology is world-class, the team is exceptional with an unmatched passion for excellence, the mission is critical, and the opportunity to make the ANYbotics platform the new global standard across heavy industry is one I could not walk away from."
