Alessandro Sansone

Chief Executive Officer @ AEP Ticketing Solutions

About

I lead P&L for subsidiaries and business units of multinational industrial groups — currently as CEO of AEP Ticketing Solutions, part of Modaxo (Constellation Software, TSX: CSU).Over 20+ years across Westinghouse, Honeywell, Philips and SKF, I've built a dual track record: scaling and professionalizing healthy businesses after acquisition, and leading special-situation turnarounds (including Chapter 11-equivalent and concordato preventivo mandates) in regulated, technically complex sectors — nuclear, oil & gas, energy, and precision manufacturing. I've also served as a board director across several of these organizations, including my current seat at AEP.A few examples: growing sales 309% and improving EBITDA by 29 points at Westinghouse's Mangiarotti division; reversing a plant closure decision at Honeywell while preserving €14M and building lasting trust with unions and works councils; leading AEP's cultural transformation as its first CEO after the founder's sale to a global group.I hold a Global Executive MBA (OneMBA — Rotterdam School of Management and four partner schools across the Americas, Asia and Europe) and a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Politecnico di Torino. I'm a registered engineer in Italy, and speak Italian (native), English and French (fluent), and Dutch (professional).Open to connecting with peers across energy, oil & gas, industrial and regulated sectors.
