The Managed Services business unit, which includes Sensys Gatso Group's American operations, Gatso USA, as well as the development of new managed services business in selected markets, will be lead by Timo Gatsonides, executive vice president. He was managing director of Gatso prior to the merger and is a grandson of Gatso's founder.

Corporate Development is run by Johan Frilund, executive vice president, and covers strategy, mergers and acquisitions and communication. Frilund was previously CEO of 569 Sensys Traffic and is the main architect behind the acquisition of Gatso and is also responsible for the post-merger integration project.
