RICHMOND, Va., April 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyper, a U.S.-based digital infrastructure partner redefining how mission-critical solutions are designed, built, delivered, and serviced, has appointed Magnus Åkesson as Vice President of AI Strategy & Intelligent Systems. Magnus joins Hyper's leadership team to drive the integration of AI, data, and system intelligence across Hyper's platform and distributed ecosystem.

Magnus brings more than 25 years of experience at the intersection of industrial engineering, digital transformation, and enterprise technology. His background spans manufacturing, supply chain, industrial automation, data science, and digital product development, with a consistent focus on building connected systems that deliver measurable business outcomes.

Prior to joining Hyper, Magnus served as Worldwide Head of Industrial Solutions Go-To-Market at Amazon Web Services, where he led global initiatives to develop and scale industrial digital solutions across enterprise customers and partner ecosystems. Earlier in his career, he held executive leadership roles at General Electric and Alstom Power, where he led global digitization strategies across manufacturing and repair operations, deploying ERP, MES, and industrial data platforms to modernize complex, distributed environments.
