He will work alongside Christian Leicher (CEO) and Andreas Pauly (CTO) to steer the company towards growth amidst these challenging times.
Markus Fischer (44) has been promoted to the top management team at Rohde & Schwarz, further strengthening the company’s leadership. Fischer has been with the technology group since 2011, starting as Head of Corporate Material Sourcing at the Munich headquarters.

Fischer oversaw all production activities, supply chain, and procurement at Rohde & Schwarz in his role. The technology group’s five production plants have a high degree of vertical integration. As Executive Vice President Operations, Fischer’s main focus was on improving efficiency, flexibility, and scalability. His division not only maintained delivery capability in uncertain supply chains but also played a significant role in the stability of Rohde & Schwarz.
Christian Leicher, President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), believes that the appointment of Markus Fischer as the new President and COO is a crucial move for the company. With the ongoing economic and geopolitical challenges, it is important to prioritize stability and scalability, which Fischer embodies. Together, they aim to further strengthen the company’s resilience against external factors.
Markus Fischer is grateful for the confidence placed in him. He has gained a comprehensive understanding of the company, its products, and its customer base over the past few years. He strongly believes in the importance of prioritizing the needs of the customer in all aspects of the business. This philosophy will continue to guide him in his new role. He is eager to collaborate with the Executive Board and staff to drive the company’s continued expansion.
Markus Fischer, the new Chief Operating Officer, will oversee the majority of the day-to-day operations at Rohde & Schwarz. Andreas Pauly, who took on the role of Chief Technology Officer in October 2023, will continue to focus on driving innovation, research and development. Christian Leicher, the Managing Partner, will remain the head of the Executive Board as President and CEO.
