Adder Technology Appoints Neil Hillier as CEO

01/07/2026

Adder Technology has announced the appointment of Neil Hillier as Chief Executive Officer, effective July 1, 2026. Hillier succeeds Adrian Dickens, who transitions to Founder and Executive Chair after 42 years leading the business. Nigel Dickens moves to Emeritus CTO. The transition is part of a planned leadership succession aligned with the company's recently announced Employee Ownership Trust.

Hillier joined Adder in 2016 and has been part of the leadership team during a period in which the company achieved more than 70% revenue growth. He has more than two decades of experience in the KVM industry across engineering, technology, operations, and commercial management.

I am honored to take on the role of CEO, and I recognize my responsibility is to build on the foundations established by Adrian and Nigel. Adder's commitment to being at the forefront of technology innovation remains unchanged, with continued investment in engineering excellence and product development central to the company's long-term strategy. We have a relentless focus on customer success and remain the trusted technology partner our customers rely on around the world, says Neil Hillier, CEO, Adder Technology.

Neil has played a significant role in Adder's growth and success, and I have complete confidence in his ability to lead the business into its next chapter. Adder enters this transition from a position of strength, supported by exceptional people, loyal customers and a culture of innovation developed over more than four decades, says Adrian Dickens, Founder and Executive Chair, Adder Technology.

Three additional leadership appointments accompany the transition: Paul Allen has been named Chief Financial Officer; Jamie Adkin, who has been with Adder for 18 years, has been promoted to Vice President of Global Sales; and Duncan Miller has been promoted to Vice President of Global Marketing and Customer Experience, combining responsibility for marketing, customer experience, professional services, and support.
