Ericsson Canada on Monday announced the appointment of Nishant Grover as its new president, effective immediately.
Grover replaces Jeanette Irekvist, who has led Ericsson Canada since 2020 and will be transitioning to a global leadership role at Ericsson’s headquarters in 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,” Grover said in an Ericsson press release announcing his appointment. “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.”
With 18 years of Ericsson experience, Grover has previously held senior leadership positions across customer facing and product organizations. He mostly recently served as head of network product sales within Ericsson’s AT&T Customer Unit based in Dallas-Fort Worth, where he led key strategic initiatives and drove growth in the United States, according to the press release.
“His deep understanding of the global telecommunications space and ability to lead high-performing teams have made him a trusted leader across the organization,” the release said.
Grover has a Master of Business Administration from the Institute of Management Technology in India and a Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science from what is now known as Maharaja Ranjit Singh Punjab Technical University. He also attended the Executive Leadership Program at the London Business School in the UK.
