Accelleron, a global technology leader in turbocharging and fuel injection, has announced the appointment of Ravin Pillay-Ramsamy as President of its Service Division and a member of the Executive Committee, effective October 1, 2026. Pillay-Ramsamy, who will be based in Baden, Switzerland, will succeed Roland Schwarz, who has been named CEO of OMT, an Accelleron company specializing in fuel injection. Klaus Heim, current CEO of OMT, will retire at the end of September 2026.

The appointment comes at a critical time for Accelleron as it seeks to strengthen its service business, which is central to its strategy of supporting the energy transition. Daniel Bischofberger, CEO of Accelleron, expressed confidence in the new hire, stating, “We are very pleased to welcome Ravin to Accelleron.

His proven track record in leading global service organizations will be highly valuable as we continue to strengthen our service business and create value for our customers worldwide.”

Pillay-Ramsamy joins Accelleron from Sulzer, where he currently serves as Division President Services and is a member of the Executive Committee. Prior to that, he held several senior leadership positions within Sulzer’s Services division across EMEA and Asia Pacific. He began his career in the United States at Turbine Services Ltd., where he held roles as Business Development Director and Vice President Engineering. His educational background includes a Global MBA from Columbia Business School and London Business School, a Master’s degree in Management and Finance from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and a Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering from The Ohio State University.

The leadership transition at OMT is also noteworthy. Roland Schwarz, who has been with Accelleron and previously ABB Turbocharging, will take over as CEO of OMT, a move that leverages his deep understanding of the company’s operations. Klaus Heim’s retirement marks the end of a long tenure, and Accelleron expressed gratitude for his contributions.
