COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Vertiv Holdings Co. (NYSE: VRT), a global leader in critical digital infrastructure, today announced that Michael Resha has joined the company as Executive Vice President of Manufacturing, Logistics and Operational Excellence, effective today. Resha succeeds Anders Karlborg, who is assuming a new role as Special Operations Projects Leader as he supports an orderly leadership transition.
Resha reports to Vertiv CEO Giordano Albertazzi and joins the executive leadership team. He leads Vertiv's global manufacturing, logistics and operational excellence organization, where he is responsible for scaling global manufacturing operations, expanding capacity, optimizing capital deployment and aligning operational execution with Vertiv's long-term growth strategy. Resha will also continue to advance the deployment and adoption of the Vertiv Operating System (VOS).
"Our ability to translate unprecedented demand into exceptional customer outcomes depends on continuously evolving our global operations as we scale," said Albertazzi. "Michael brings deep experience leading large, multinational manufacturing networks and aligning operations, engineering and supply chain capabilities to support growth. As demand for critical digital infrastructure continues to accelerate around the world, he will play an important role in advancing our operational excellence journey, further embedding the Vertiv Operating System and helping ensure the company is positioned to capitalize on the significant opportunities ahead."
Resha joins Vertiv from Stellantis, where he most recently served as Senior Vice President and Global Head of Injection and Stamping, overseeing operations across North America, Enlarged Europe, the Middle East and Africa and Asia Pacific. Previously, he led Stellantis' North American manufacturing operations across the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Earlier in his career, Resha held manufacturing leadership roles at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Gestamp Automoción, Volkswagen, Kia Motors and Mercedes-Benz. His experience spans global operations, capital deployment, operational improvement and leadership development.
"Vertiv's global manufacturing organization is critical to meeting growing customer demand for the infrastructure that powers and enables today's digital world," Resha said. "I look forward to working with teams around the world to continue advancing our operational excellence journey, investing in our people and scaling our global capabilities to support Vertiv's continued growth as we deliver exceptional outcomes for our customers."
Karlborg leaves his current role as Executive Vice President of Manufacturing, Logistics and Operational Excellence. He will support the leadership transition in his new capacity as Special Operations Projects Leader, reporting to Albertazzi.
"Anders has played an essential role in strengthening Vertiv's global operations during a period of rapid growth and complexity," said Albertazzi. "His deep understanding of our manufacturing footprint and ability to deliver under pressure have strengthened execution, quality and continuous improvement across the organization.
