“Technology is transforming the way car parks are managed, and APCOA has long been at the forefront of that transformation,” said Nicola Veratelli, Chief Executive Officer of APCOA. “Across 11 countries, our on-site and mobile technology is making parking easier and improving driver usability for cities, landlords and drivers. Sean’s remit is to accelerate that technology journey and to keep improving the digital services our partners and drivers rely on.”

I look forward to working with the team to deliver solutions that enhance the customer experience, create value for our partners, and support the company’s continued growth.”
