The Titomic Ltd (ASX: TTT) share price is on the move today following a reshape in its leadership team.

At the time of writing, the company's shares are trading at 46 cents apiece, up 10.98% for the day.

What did Titomic announce?

Investors are pushing Titomic shares higher after gaining a renowned expert to steer the company ahead.

In its announcement, Titomic advised that Mr Herbert Koeck, a recognised 3D printing solutions specialist, will become its new CEO. The appointment of Mr Koeck will replace interim CEO Mr Nobert Schulze, who will step into another role.

Over the last 5 years, Mr Koeck took on a position within the executive management team with 3D-printing solution supplier, 3D-Systems Corporation. As executive vice president global-go-to-market, Mr Koeck oversaw sales and global orders for the group, having an influence on product development.

Management comments

Titomic chair, Dr Andreas Schwer welcomed the new addition, saying:

Herbert is a proven leader with deep additive manufacturing experience, hard core marketing skills, business vision and ability to bring people together. His experience in bringing advanced technologies to customers around the world is exactly what Titomic needs as the Company enters its next chapter focusing on commercialising its Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing (CSAM) technology centred on building partnerships as well as joint ventures with customers.

Incoming Titomic CEO, Mr Koeck went on to add:

It is an honour to accept this position as CEO of Titomic. As a team, Titomic's employees have contributed their skills and talents to position Titomic as a leading global additive manufacturing company. The opportunity ahead is vast for Titomic and to capture the potential we must focus clearly, move fast and continue to transform.
