He will also analyse the feasibility of new projects that the OK Group is currently discussing. Meléndez will continue to be linked to OK Mobility as an advisor to the group’s global mobility platform.

Ktiri has the upmost confidence in Meléndez, who has been a key figure in OK Mobility’s geographical expansion and current positioning, resulting in the company being present today in 15 countries. It has more than 70 OK Stores, consolidating its position in the global development of the mobility sector.

OK Group Chairman Othman Ktiri said: “This appointment has been planned for a long time. However, for me it was essential that Ivan accompanied me in the professionalization of OK Mobility before he took on these new responsibilities. Now that we have reached these structural and organizational milestones, we can start this new and exciting stage within OK Group,” says Ktiri with great excitement. “His know-how and expertise in project leadership, backed by his impeccable track record in OK Mobility, are undoubtedly the best guarantee for Ivan as he assumes leadership of the OK Group Business area from now on“.
