“Mattias is an industry veteran of the highest caliber,” said Joy Weiss, president and CEO of Tempo Automation. “He brings a breadth of experience to the Tempo team, spanning supply chain, factory operations and global business unit leadership. Mattias’s background in helping customers get electronics products from concept to volume production will serve Tempo and its customers well.”

Prior to Legrand-Finelite, he held several senior roles at Flex, one of the world’s largest electronics manufacturing services companies. He most recently served there as global vice president for a portfolio of $1.8 billion across smart home, appliances and floorcare markets.
During his 20-year tenure at Flex, Cedergren ran a start-up incubator, growing it to $500 million in revenue, and managed large campus operations across design, new products, supply chain, operations and reverse logistics. After leaving Flex, Cedergren joined Veev, a technology-driven hybrid real estate solutions company, as the vice president and general manager of global design and production studio. Cedergren graduated from Lund University School of Business in Sweden as well as Stanford University’s executive education program. He has lived and worked in Europe, Mexico, and the US.

I am honored to join the team at Tempo and support our next phase of growth.”
