Senior Partner – Capital and Deals — Fleet-Operations Network

The mandate

Customer and operating evidence now point to demand for sector-specific capital and transaction advice across the region within a privately held technology-enabled mobility and transport platform. The immediate arena is the fleet-operations network during a driver-partner trust gap. For mandate 438, the successful executive inherits decisions that have been deferred, competing stakeholder expectations and a need to establish facts before committing further capital.

The Senior Partner – Capital and Deals operating perimeter covers approximately €3,850 million in gross bookings and fleet portfolio, with activity spanning several fleet-operations network customer, product and delivery clusters rather than a single asset. The Senior Partner – Capital and Deals Mobility remit carries direct influence over roughly 300 colleagues and third-party capacity.

The chair, executive committee and principal capital sponsors want a Senior Partner – Capital and Deals who can convert ambiguity into a short list of explicit choices for the fleet-operations network. The Senior Partner – Capital and Deals Mobility seat must resolve a driver-partner trust gap, while preserving the underlying strengths of the fleet-operations network. For mandate 438, value will come through sharper allocation, stronger leaders and an operating cadence that exposes variance early.

The Senior Partner – Capital and Deals’s first year on the fleet-operations network is expected to end with board access, deal conversion and post-deal value capture. In mandate 438, authority covers resources and leadership appointments; material trade-offs go directly to the board sponsor.

Why this seat is open

The Senior Partner – Capital and Deals — Fleet-Operations Network requirement was not included in the approved hiring calendar. It became urgent after a driver-partner trust gap created an immediate need for one accountable owner of the fleet-operations network. Interim coverage protects essential decisions, but split ownership cannot continue through the next operating gate. The board intends to move from qualified shortlist to offer within 4–6 weeks while preserving confidential, evidence-led diligence.
