Federico Marturano has taken over as chief executive of Atex group, following Anders Christiansen's retirement.

The promotion follows eight years with Atex in a variety of leadership roles, most recently as head of the south business unit which includes Italy, Spain, France, the Czech Republic, Singapore and South America.

He was previously chief executive L'Unione Editoriale after leading digital operations for Gruppo Monrif in Italy. He holds an MSc in Business Administration from the University Of Bologna.

Anders Christiansen moved to Atex from Saxotech, and served just over four years in the top job, succeeding interim chief executive Henning Jensen. He had been instrumental in leading Atex through the sale process from Kistefos to Constellation Software in 2017, and in integrating Atex into Constellation.
