Albertazzi has been with the company for 24 years, the last six leading Vertiv in EMEA. In 2021, the EMEA region achieved organic sales growth of over 18% and improved its adjusted operating profit margin by more than 700 basis points.

“Giordano is the right person to lead our business in the Americas and drive the rapid execution of the actions we are taking to address the current challenges in our environment. In the EMEA region, Giordano has demonstrated his ability to drive revenue and profit growth through transformation efforts ranging from systems implementation to go-to-market initiatives. He has achieved these results by integrating cross-functional teams and instilling discipline and agility in how we operate internally and externally. We are confident that his leadership in the Americas will deliver similar success for the region,” said Rob Johnson, CEO of Vertiv. “Giordano and Karsten have established outstanding leadership and vision during their time at Vertiv, and I have complete confidence in their abilities in their new roles.”.

Albertazzi and Winther have worked together for four years, achieving significant results and developing a successful culture based on accountability and speed. In his new role, Winther's strong leadership skills will enable him to maintain this high level of success in EMEA.


With this announcement, Albertazzi replaces John Hewitt, who is leaving Vertiv to embark on other opportunities.
