Vertiv has filled its leadership void with former COO Giordano Albertazzi (pictured) assuming the role of CEO.
He has also been appointed to the board of directors and replaces previous CEO Rob Johnson, who has been working with Albertazzi since October to ensure a smooth transition.
Albertazzi will also continue in his position as President, Americas, until a successor is named.
Dave Cote, Executive Chairman at Vertiv, said: “With more than two decades of operational and business experience at Vertiv and a track record of performance in both Europe and the Americas, Giordano is the right person to drive Vertiv forward.
“He was instrumental in driving significant operational and financial improvements while leading EMEA, and in the ongoing turnaround of the Americas.”
