Vertiv has announced a major leadership transition at the top of its technology division as longtime Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Stephen Liang prepares to retire after three decades with the company. Liang will officially step down from his role on January 1, 2026.
Liang joined the company during its Emerson days and has played a key role throughout Vertiv’s transformation into a global leader in critical digital infrastructure. Earlier this year, he focused his efforts exclusively on CTO duties, guiding Vertiv’s innovation strategy across its product lines and global markets.
“Stephen’s contributions to Vertiv have been far-reaching throughout his tenure,” said Gio Albertazzi, Vertiv CEO. “His leadership has been instrumental in positioning Vertiv as a technology innovator, and his legacy will continue to influence our future success.”
To ensure continuity, Vertiv has confirmed that Scott Armul will assume an expanded role as Chief Product and Technology Officer (CPTO) starting January 1, 2026. Armul, who became Executive Vice President for Global Portfolio and Business Units earlier this year, will now oversee both product strategy and the company’s technology office.
Armul has been with Vertiv since 2009, serving in several technical and leadership roles that give him deep insight into the company’s operations and global market demands.
