Lectra, a technology solutions provider for the fashion, automotive and furniture industries, has announced the appointment of John Brearley as president of the Americas and a member of the company’s executive committee.
Lectra currently operates in 31 countries in the Americas region, with 400 employees in 7 locations serving more than 8,000 customers. The Americas play a crucial role for Lectra, contributing 33% of the company’s sales in 2024.
“We look forward to John Brearley continuing his impactful journey within the group as he steps into this pivotal leadership role”, says Daniel Harari, chairman and CEO of Lectra. “With his extensive experience in the industry and a proven track record of leading our teams to support our customers and drive growth in Lectra’s recurring business, John is well-positioned to lead our Americas teams toward accelerated growth, strengthened customer relationships, and achieve our strategic objectives.”
Throughout his 40-year career, Brearley has played an instrumental role in shaping a responsive, customer-centric culture within the organizations he has served. He began at Investronica, where he managed the business in the U.K., before moving to the U.S. in 2001 to lead the North American division. Following Investronica’s 2004 acquisition by Lectra, Brearley took over the responsibility of growing consumables and parts activity. He became vice president of customer care for Lectra Americas in 2007. In 2020, John was promoted to senior vice president of customer success for the region.
“It is an honor to take on this new role at such a strategic moment for Lectra and our customers in the Americas,” says Brearley. “My focus will be on supporting customers and ensuring that we empower them not just to meet the challenges of Industry 4.0, but to thrive—growing more resilient, agile and sustainable through every step of their digital transformation.”
