A Chartered Engineer and Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology, he is a member of the Executive Management Board of Siemens and managing director for Siemens Digital Industries, which serves the manufacturing and infrastructure sectors. He is also chairman of Siemens Industry Software UK.
In addition to being a main board member for Make UK, the Manufacturers’ Organisation, Holliday is a supervisory board member for the High Value Manufacturing Catapult and in 2022 he was appointed co-chair of Made Smarter, the national digitalisation movement to drive productivity, growth and sustainability in manufacturing.

The Royal Academy of Engineering brings together the best of our profession, championing engineering careers, engineering contribution and engineering diversity.
