HiveMQ Sets Ambitious Plans to Become Premier Industrial AI Platform
On October 16, 2025, HiveMQ announced a strategic transformation aimed at establishing itself as a leading Industrial AI platform. The Boston and Munich-based company has appointed Barry Libert as Chairman and CEO to spearhead this initiative. HiveMQ intends to leverage its robust data infrastructure, which is already trusted by industry giants such as BMW and Eli Lilly, to create a central hub for actionable insights within the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
### Leadership Changes and Vision
Libert, a veteran entrepreneur with a history of guiding companies towards successful AI integration, has previously led Anaconda to significant achievements, elevating it to unicorn status. Alongside Libert, HiveMQ welcomes Mike Weinert as Chief Revenue Officer and Tim Hall as Chief Product Officer. This newly formed leadership team brings extensive expertise in industrial technologies and data-driven business models, positioning HiveMQ for enhanced execution and innovation.
### Focus on Measurable AI Deliverables
According to Libert, industrial organizations no longer require mere AI hype; they need tangible results from reliable data. The planned Industrial AI platform is set to embed intelligence into real-time data streams, enabling companies to transition from pilot AI projects to full-scale operational outcomes. Under Hall’s direction, HiveMQ aims to improve product innovation and simplify scalability to optimize returns on AI investments.
### The Growing Industrial AI Market
The industrial AI sector is witnessing remarkable growth, with its market valuation projected to soar from $43.6 billion in 2024 to an estimated $154 billion by 2030, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23%. This surge is driven by manufacturers moving from experimental AI initiatives to comprehensive deployment across production lines.
