Thomas Pinnau, the new CEO of Hilding Anders.
Pinnau brings extensive international experience, most recently serving as CEO of Hollander Sleep & Decor, where he led a transformation focused on operational excellence, product innovation, e-commerce and strategic partnerships. His previous roles include senior positions at Alliance Boots, Mars and Procter & Gamble.
The leadership transition coincides with a change in ownership, with Golden Square Capital becoming the new owner of the group. Existing investors remain involved and supportive, with a new agreement expected to reduce leverage and improve liquidity, strengthening the company's financial position for future growth.
Commenting on the development, Pinnau described the transition as "an important evolution" for the group, highlighting its strong brands, product quality and customer relationships as key foundations for the next phase.
Alongside the CEO appointment, Xavier Thiry has been named Chief Financial Officer. Thiry joins with a strong background in financial leadership across both private equity-backed and publicly listed companies. He previously served as Group CFO and Chief Commercial Officer at SMYK Group, where he played a central role in the company's development and eventual exit under Bridgepoint ownership.
Earlier in his career, Thiry held senior finance roles at Metro Group, with international experience across Europe and Asia.
The combined leadership changes and ownership restructuring position Hilding Anders to focus on performance improvement, transformation and sustainable growth, reinforcing its ambitions within the global bedding and sleep products market.
