GMV appoints Miguel Ángel Martínez Olagüe as the new general manager of its Intelligent Transportation Systems subsidiary

To spur on the company’s unstoppable growth towards pole position in the world’s intelligent transportation systems (ITS) market, the technology multinational GMV has appointed Miguel Ángel Martínez Olagüe as the new general manager of its Intelligent Transportation Systems subsidiary, GMV Sistemas, S.A. and of the company’s whole ITS area.

Miguel Ángel Martínez, until now holding the post of Chief Business Development & Marketing Officer of the whole business group GMV, first joined GMV back in 1988. By now he has built up a panoramic overview of GMV as a whole, but he boasts a particularly keen-eyed vision of the ITS market and sector. Indeed, he was the main driving force behind GMV’s ITS business in the early nineties and worked as the first director of GMV Sistemas S.A. when it was set up in 1995.

From his position as the business group’s chief business development officer, Martínez has vigorously driven GMV’s internationalization process and especially the worldwide scaling up of its ITS business. One of the flagship events in this whole process was last year’s acquisition of GMV’s North American ITS company, Syncromatics Corp.

Graduating with a 5-year aeronautical engineering degree from ETSIA in 1987, he then topped up his training with an MBA from Fundaçao Dom Cabral in Brazil. As well as GMV his career has taken in such companies as Telefónica (Brazil) and Iberdrola (Brazil and Spain).
