Stuttgart, February 18, 2025 – APCOA is pleased to announce the appointments of Julian de Unamuno as the new Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Mike Clarke as the new Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO), effective March 3, 2025. These strategic appointments are part of the company’s ongoing efforts to position APCOA for continued success and growth.
Julian de Unamuno joins APCOA from Applus+, where he served as CFO. He brings over 20 years of financial leadership, including five years of experience in the parking industry, a sector he is passionate about. Prior to his role at Applus+, Julian was CFO and Chief Operating Officer (COO) at Empark in Spain. His extensive experience and strategic financial acumen will be instrumental in advancing APCOA’s financial strategy. He succeeds Nick Pulford, who served as interim CFO, and to whom we extend our sincere gratitude for his contributions during this transition period.
Mike Clarke comes to APCOA with over 30 years of experience in human resources. Most recently, he served as COO and CHRO at Hero MotoCorp in India. He previously held the CHRO position at Delphi Technologies and HR International at Hertz. Mike’s deep commitment to talent development, teamwork, and organizational culture will be crucial in further strengthening APCOA’s workforce. Mike succeeds Anastasia Kuzmina, who served as interim CHRO, and we are grateful for her contributions during this time.
“We are thrilled to welcome Julian and Mike to the management team,” said Nicola Veratelli, CEO of APCOA. “Their vast experience, passion, and leadership will play a key role in driving our strategy forward and positioning APCOA for the future. We are confident that they will bring in fresh perspectives as we continue to enhance our business and foster innovation across the company.”
