On Names Scott Maguire Chief Innovation and Operating Officer, Effective Jan. 1, 2026

The move aligns product development with production to scale Lightspray output.

Overview

  • Sam Wenger will depart the chief operating officer role after eight years with the company.
  • Scott Maguire joined as chief innovation officer in 2025 and previously served as CEO of Specialized Bicycle Components and COO at Dyson.
  • On said Maguire will integrate innovation with operations, and Bloomberg reported his remit is expected to include expanding Lightspray robotics already under his oversight.
  • LightSpray uses a robot arm and about 1.5 kilometers of filament to form one-piece uppers in roughly three minutes, which On says cuts upper-related carbon emissions by about 75 percent versus its other racing shoes.
  • On recently raised its 2025 net sales outlook to up 31 percent after Q2 net sales rose 38 percent to 749.2 million Swiss francs alongside a 40.9 million franc net loss, and it enacted selective U.S. price increases to offset stacked import duties of 40 percent from Vietnam and 39 percent from Indonesia.
