On June 16, 2025, the Company announced that Randy MacEwen will step down as President and Chief Executive Officer, with Marty Neese assuming the position effective July 7, 2025.

The Board of Directors has appointed Marty Neese as President & CEO following a succession planning process. A seasoned executive with a deep background in operations, Mr. Neese has extensive experience in product standardization, product cost reduction, volume production, and gross margin optimization. Mr. Neese has served on Ballard's Board of Directors over the past 10 years, and as the CEO of Verdagy, an innovative electrolysis and green hydrogen company, over the past four years. Earlier in his career, he served as the chief operating officer of SunPower and Flex. With his background and experience, Mr. Neese is uniquely qualified to drive the company's next phase of growth and operational efficiency.

The leadership transition has been carefully planned to ensure a seamless and orderly handover. Mr. MacEwen will continue to serve as the CEO until Marty's start date and then will remain available in an advisory capacity through September 30, 2025.
