Bestmile selects new vice president of business development and strategic alliances

Bestmile has selected Alvaro Ramis as the vice president of business development and strategic alliances, where he will nurture and expand Bestmile’s relationships with strategic and technology partners.

“Alvaro understands firsthand the importance of building partnerships with cities and other companies to deliver successful mobility services, having established multi-national partnerships in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and North America,” said Raphael Gindrat, CEO and cofounder of Bestmile. “It takes an ecosystem of businesses and technologies to deliver next generation mobility services, and Alvaro has the vision and experience to ensure that Bestmile has the right partners and relationships.”

Prior to joining Bestmile, Ramis led several autonomous and human-driven mobility services at Volkswagen, which included the role of head of global market development and partnerships at MOIA and the initial set up of the mobility project of Electrify America, an electric charging infrastructure in North America. Ramis also worked as chief marketing officer at Daimler’s Car2Go business.

“I know from experience that fleet orchestration is critical to enabling mobility services to deliver on the promise of moving more people with fewer vehicles,” Ramis said. “Bestmile’s technology and team are second to none and I am excited to be a part of the company.” 

Ramis holds an MBA from IESE Business School, an M.S. in Corporate Communications from Boston University and a B.S. in Marketing Communications from Elon University.
