Under the leadership, EBITDA and margins doubled over eight years, driving over 300% value growth. Previously, I was Chief Commercial Officer for Global Managed Services at Siemens and Atos, responsible for a €6B portfolio. Private Equity Value Creation For the past nine years, I’ve worked within private equity-backed businesses, most notably at APCOA. I’ve driven consistent double-digit growth in new business, expanded the pipeline significantly, and led the creation of two new business lines—EV & Urban Hubs—now contributing over 10% of total EBITDA. The new business line is 500 bps more profitable than legacy operations. I’ve also led strategic initiatives such as Salesforce deployment, portfolio optimization, pricing/yield strategies, and selective M&A delivering both top-line and bottom-line impact.
