Management
Ronnie Hagin, CEO of Rovetex

Ronen (Ronnie) Hagin

Chief Executive Officer

Ronnie leads Rovetex with a rare combination: a factory-floor understanding of how textile mills really run, and nearly 40 years of experience turning that understanding into software.

He joined Datatex in 1987 and grew with the company as it became a leading ERP provider for textile and apparel manufacturers worldwide, serving as CEO of Datatex Textile Information Systems from 1994, CEO of the Datatex group (Zug, Switzerland) from 2018, and later as President of Datatex Group. Today he leads Rovetex.

Over his career he has worked with spinners, weavers, knitters, dyers and garment makers across continents — helping them digitise planning, production and quality. At Rovetex he applies that experience to the next step: bringing practical AI into textile factories.

Ronnie is a graduate of the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology.
