SMS Ltd, the integrated energy infrastructure group, has appointed Eugenio Herrero as the Managing Director of its Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Infrastructure division.
Eugenio brings a wealth of experience in the EV charging infrastructure industry. Recently, he held the position of Executive Director of ultra-rapid electric vehicle (EV) charging network, PoGo Charge, and of SWARCO Smart Charging’s investment division, where he led the incubation, development and growth of the business. Prior to his role at PoGo, he managed the launch of the Be.EV network in Manchester, UK.
