As CEO of Nortek Air Management, a private equity backed company owned by Melrose Industries PLC, Bruno led a team that created significant value for the shareholders, customers, and employees. This led to the successful sale of the company for $3.625 billion at a 12.5 X Multiple. This was achieved through implementing a clear winning strategy, nurturing a high-performance team and culture, and aligning the business to deliver substantially improved margins and cash flow generation. Bruno is credited with transforming the company’s profit profile from 6.5% in 2016 to 21% EBITDA in 2021. During Bruno’s tenure, Nortek generated over $600 million in free cash flow enabling the parent company to retire $400 million plus in debt. The cash conversion also self-funded investments of over $100 million in capital improvements and $78 million in new product launches creating $400 million in new sustainable profitable growth.

Prior to Nortek, Bruno was President and CEO for Philips Lighting. During his tenure, drove sustained profitable growth for Philips’ lighting portfolio of businesses in the Americas. He began and led Philips’ significant change program that unified previously dis-integrated acquired companies into a cohesive company with an aligned overarching strategy. Even when the company was challenged with a delayed PMII, a technological shift occurring within the lighting industry and a legacy high-cost basis, Bruno was instrumental in aligning brands, defining innovation roadmaps, and rationalizing manufacturing to create a unified go-to-market organization. His leadership was instrumental in preparing the breakup of the Lighting division to deliver shareholder returns and segment different platforms so they could grow independently.
