Heikendorf, 10.01.2023 – The Solvares Group, Europe's leading provider of Resource Management in Field Service, Field Sales, and Logistics, has appointed Ivan Bagaric as its new CEO with effect from 1 January 2023. Bagaric therefore moves from the Advisory Board of the Solvares Group, of which he has been a member since 2020, to the operational management of the Group of Companies.
The 44-year-old Business Administration graduate has 15 years of International Management experience with a focus on Strategy, M&A, Processes and Legal in the Software Industry. As the new CEO, Bagaric will focus on sharpening the strategy of the Solvares Group and the merging of the subsidiaries, therefore driving the further growth of the Group as the European Market Leader for Resource Optimisation.
Ivan Bagaric was CEO at Blackbelt XP, an Amsterdam-based consultancy specialising in the optimisation of Cloud and Digitalisation processes. Prior to his position at Blackbelt XP, Bagaric worked for eight years at PTV Group in various positions and most recently headed the Purchasing, M&A, Legal, and Transformation division as part of the Executive Board. He therefore brings with him extensive expertise in the market for Transport and Logistics Software - one of the core markets of the Solvares Group.
In addition to his work as CEO, Bagaric is a lecturer of Strategic Purchasing at the Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences.
