The Board of Directors of TVH is excited to announce that Giuliano Parodi has been appointed as the company’s new Chief Executive Officer, effective September 1st. With nearly 25 years of experience in the industrial equipment and automotive sectors, Giuliano will lead TVH into its next chapter of global growth.

Giuliano Parodi joins TVH from Yanmar, a manufacturer of industrial equipment, where he most recently served as Group Chief Strategy Officer and Member of the Board of Directors. In this role, he played a key part in shaping the Group’s strategic direction and overseeing its regional operations outside Japan. Yanmar is a global organization with approximately $8 billion in revenues.

Previously, he served as CEO and Chairman of Yanmar Compact Equipment, leading a global business of approximately $1.5 billion in revenue with operations across Japan, Europe, and North America.

Earlier in his career, Giuliano held senior leadership roles at Bobcat Company (Doosan Group) and Fiat Group.

Throughout his career, he has successfully led international growth, business transformation, and operational scaling, with a strong focus on aftermarket, customer solutions, and value creation.

A chartered engineer with a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering and an Executive MBA, Giuliano combines deep industry expertise with a pragmatic and team-oriented leadership style. Having lived and worked across multiple countries, including nearly two decades in Belgium, he brings both a global perspective and a strong local connection.

“I am very proud to join TVH at such an exciting moment in its journey. TVH has built a unique position globally, combining strong customer relationships, deep product expertise, and an entrepreneurial culture. I look forward to working with the team to define the next phase of growth, with a clear focus on customers, execution, and long-term value creation,” said Parodi.
