Nevion AS, a Sony group company, announces today that Thomas Heinzer, the company’s founder and CEO, has decided to step down from his role at the end of the financial year which concludes on March 31. Nevion’s CFO, Heidi Mello Stavnar, will become the new CEO of Nevion, effective April 1. 

Heinzer founded Network Electronics, the company that eventually became Nevion, in Sandefjord (Norway) in 1996. Since then, he has served in several management positions within the company. Following the acquisition of Nevion by Sony in 2020, Heinzer has been focusing on the post-merger integration (PMI) with Sony.

Heinzer explains: “As the founder of the company, it was extremely important to me that Nevion should thrive within Sony, in particular by leveraging the fantastic technology and the global market reach of Sony. I am satisfied that Nevion is now in a good place, with excellent collaborations at all levels between the companies, so it’s time for me to take things a little easier. I leave Nevion knowing that the company is in good hands with Heidi at the helm.”

Mello Stavnar joined Nevion in 2006, and has held various managerial positions in finance, administration and HR. As the present CFO, she has been actively engaged with Thomas in the PMI process.

She says: “I am obviously very excited at the prospect of leading the company that has been part of my life for many years. I look forward to building on the excellent work that Thomas has done, and to deliver continued growth for the company by making our customers and partners successful. Nevion is also certified as a Great Place to Work, and nurturing our can-do culture remains key to achieving those goals.”

Mello Stevnar concludes: “On behalf of everyone in Nevion, I would like to thank Thomas for his immense achievements in his 30 years at Nevion, and wish him all the best in the new phase of his life.”
