Pieters, who has worked at ASML for over 25 years and most recently served as Executive Vice President for the product area Applications, will report directly to Christophe Fouquet, President and Chief Executive Officer.
“Technology lies at the heart of ASML and our engineering talent around the world holds the key to our future success,” said Fouquet. “As part of our robust succession planning process, I am proud to name Marco, a long-standing ASML leader, as CTO. After working alongside him for many years, Marco has my full support in driving forward our technology roadmap in service of our customers. I look forward to our continued collaboration.”
The Supervisory Board of ASML also announced its intention to appoint Pieters to the Board of Management at the next Annual General Meeting (AGM), scheduled for April 22, 2026. In addition, the Supervisory Board plans to reappoint Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Roger Dassen for a four-year term and Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer Frédéric Schneider-Maunoury for a two-year term, both starting from the 2026 AGM.
“As ASML continues to successfully pursue its strategy to innovate and serve customers around the world, the Supervisory Board is grateful to secure the continued leadership of Roger and Frédéric as part of the ASML Board of Management,” said Supervisory Board Chairman Nils Andersen. “The experience of both leaders at ASML and other companies will be essential in supporting ASML’s long-term goals and managing the interests of employees, shareholders and other stakeholders in the coming years.”
Pieters will take on the CTO role immediately. His appointment to the Board of Management in April 2026 will expand the board from five to six members.
