Exotec, the global specialist in warehouse robotics, has announced two key executive appointments to support its international expansion and reinforce its commitment to innovation, inclusion, and performance.

Renata Spada joins as Chief People Officer, while Aurelie Clerquin has been promoted to Executive Vice President of Finance. These appointments come at a pivotal moment for Exotec, as the company accelerates its global footprint – particularly in the United States – by investing in talent development and performance management frameworks.
Expanding beyond its European origins is central to Exotec’s long-term growth strategy. Both Spada and Clerquin bring deep experience from global organisations, making them instrumental in driving the next phase of the company’s evolution.
Clerquin has been promoted to Executive Vice President of Finance at Exotec, following nearly two years as Head of Financial Planning & Analysis within the company’s finance team. During this time, she has played a key role in shaping Exotec’s financial strategy, bringing clarity, rigour, and forward-thinking leadership to the team.
Before joining Exotec, Clerquin spent ten years at global bio-pharma company Roquette, where she held several senior finance roles. Her experience across international markets and strategic finance has been valuable for the company’s continued global growth.
Spada joins Exotec following a career spanning over 20 years in Human Resources and 10 years in Finance and Legal. She has held leadership roles at major French energy companies Engie and EDF, and international firms Price Waterhouse, Lafarge, and Snap-on Tools.
At Engie, Spada most recently served as Group Vice President for Talent Acquisition, Employer Branding, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI).
In the role, she spearheaded a major cultural transformation by designing and executing Engie’s global DEI strategy, with a cornerstone of this effort being the “Fifty-Fifty” initiative – an ambitious programme aimed at achieving gender parity among the company’s 30,000 managers by 2030.
