Allego appoints new CEO

Fast-charging network operator Allego has appointed its former CFO Steven Salo as CEO with immediate effect. Salo replaces Mathieu Bonnet in this role. Allego has yet to provide any further details on the change in management.

The press release only mentions that the change in leadership is ” part of the company’s continued focus on strengthening its operational and financial strategy.” From this, it can only be deduced that the Board of Directors trusts Steven Salo to accomplish more than Matthieu Bonnet.

Matthieu Bonnet was appointed as the CEO of Allego in 2019, succeeding Anja van Niersen, who had moved from active management to the Board of Directors and is now the CEO of Milence. Before joining the charge point operator, the Frenchman worked in the energy sector, including as CEO of Compagnie Nationale du Rhône (CNR), a large hydropower company in France.

In contrast, his successor, Steven Salo, has a strong financial background. He brings “extensive experience in financial leadership, strategic planning, and corporate development across various industrial sectors,” Allego writes. He has been the company’s CFO since July 2024 and has been “pivotal in guiding the company’s financial and operational direction.”

The Board of Directors is confident that “Steven Salo’s strategic vision and financial expertise will support Allego’s long-term growth and mission to accelerate the transition to sustainable mobility.” Further details will be announced “in due course.”
