Frank Duggan and Chunyuan Gu will step down from their roles as Presidents of the Europe and AMEA (Asia, Middle East and Africa) regions respectively, as those roles are to be discontinued under the new ABB operating system.
Duggan and Gu will continue as advisors to the company. In addition, Duggan will be appointed a member of the Hitachi ABB Power Grids board, representing ABB, while Gu will continue as Chairman of the Board of Directors of ABB China.

Frank Duggan became a member of the Executive Committee in 2011 as Head of Global Markets and Manager of the former India, Middle East and Africa region and then became President of AMEA in 2015 and of Europe in 2017. In that time, he was pivotal in developing ABB’s customer-focused approach both globally and in those regions.
Chunyuan Gu joined the Executive Committee in 2017 as President of AMEA while he was Managing Director of ABB China. Gu played a key role in strengthening the company’s technology leadership in robotics and to develop its business in China and the AMEA region.
