As part of his new role, Pedro will report to Brian DiBella, President and CEO of LNCA, in addition to joining the Executive Committee at Legrand.
He steps into the DPC role previously held by Brian and will work closely with the company’s global data centre teams to drive all aspects of DPC business, including taking advantage of the data centre market growth that has been driven by the rapid adoption of AI technologies and digitalisation trends.

“The data centre market is a key area of focus for Legrand globally. Pedro offers a well-rounded perspective, balancing strategy and operations to guide our global teams and support regional collaboration,” explains Brian DiBella, President and CEO at LNCA.
