ABOUT JHON ALEXANDER RAMIREZ OSPINA
I am a global business leader in urban mobility and smart city infrastructure. As Regional General Manager for South-West Europe at nextbike, I lead the expansion, operations and full P&L of multimodal bike sharing systems integrated into public transport across multiple European markets.My experience combines high-stakes public procurement, international growth strategy and complex partnership ecosystems (public transport operators, municipalities, utilities, private capital). I’ve led large-scale bids and strategic wins in Europe and LATAM, securing +70M€ in contract value across countries such as Spain, Mexico, UK, Sweden, Croatia and Ukraine — including the largest-ever contract for our business: the Metropolitan bike share service for Barcelona (+50M€).I’ve built and scaled business units from scratch, launched new markets, managed multi-million euro budgets and led international teams across regions. What drives me is creating real transformation: more sustainable cities, more efficient mobility systems, and infrastructure models that actually work long-term.Prior to nextbike, I worked at Coats (the world’s largest industrial thread manufacturer) leading forecasting, pricing, digital transformation and customer experience initiatives. I hold an MBA in Entrepreneurship & Innovation Management (University of Leipzig) and a BSc in Industrial Engineering (Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira).Always open to connect with authorities, city officials, founders, investors, public authorities and leaders shaping the future of cities and mobility in Europe.
