Schneider Electric has appointed Martin Scholz as head of its Secure Power business for Czechia and Slovakia, with responsibility for developing the company’s activities in data centres, critical IT infrastructure and resilient power systems. Scholz took up the position on 1 August 2026.
The appointment comes as data-centre infrastructure and the systems required to maintain continuous IT operations become an increasingly important part of the technology and energy markets. In his new position, Scholz will oversee commercial development and relationships with customers and partners across the Czech and Slovak markets.
Scholz brings more than 20 years of experience in technology, sales and management. Before joining Schneider Electric, he held senior positions with HP, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Amazon Web Services, with responsibilities covering business development, strategic management, sales and service delivery across Central and Eastern Europe.
His responsibilities at Schneider Electric will include developing the Secure Power division’s activities around data-centre and critical IT infrastructure, including power continuity, cooling and digital management systems.
“Martin brings more than 20 years of experience in business, technology and leading international teams,” said Darko Lopotar, General Manager of Schneider Electric for Czechia and Slovakia. He added that Scholz’s experience in business development and customer and partner relationships would support the further development of the Secure Power operation.
The appointment also places Scholz in a part of Schneider Electric’s business closely connected with the continuing expansion of digital infrastructure. Secure Power covers technologies used to maintain the availability and operation of data centres and other critical IT environments, where electricity supply, cooling and infrastructure management are central operational requirements.
Schneider Electric’s wider portfolio covers electrification, automation and digital technologies used across buildings, data centres, industrial facilities, infrastructure and electricity networks. The group employs more than 160,000 people and works with approximately one million partners in more than 100 countries.
