2022 has been a year of important milestones in the operations, expansion and partnerships of Blink Charging, one of the world’s leading charging infrastructure companies.
With plans for the implementation of robust energy supply networks, the acquisition of technology companies and ambitious projects for the future, the brand is making key moves in its board of directors.
In that regard, Blink’s top brass approved three significant additions to executive leadership with the appointment of Michael Battaglia as Chief Revenue Officer, Mark Pastrone, Chief Operating Officer and Aviv Hillo, as Executive Vice President of Mergers and Acquisitions.
“These appointments mark an elevated focus on Blink’s accelerated growth and meet industry demand for reliable charging solutions as electric vehicle sales continue to increase,” the company says in a press release.

Michael D. Farkas, Executive Chairman and CEO of Blink Charging, expressed satisfaction with the growth and viability of the organization.
“With these additions to the senior executive team, I am confident that we will meet future challenges and thrive, having the right people in the right place,” he added.
He explained that they have identified the company’s needs to meet the growing demands of the electric vehicle charging industry, so the new additions will help increase leadership in providing electric vehicle charging solutions.
Executive Track Record
Mike Battaglia has served as Blink’s Senior VP of Sales and Business Development since December 2020. He will assume the role of chief revenue officer, a position that is currently unfilled, and will play a vital role in the company’s growth.
He will oversee Blink’s global sales organization, develop go-to-market strategies and identify new opportunities for overseas expansion.
Meanwhile, Mark Pastrone served as Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the company’s subsidiary, SemaConnect, acquired in June 2022, where he played a key role in developing the company’s sales, service, technology and production capabilities.
The Board also approved the appointment of Aviv Hillo as Executive Vice President, Mergers and Acquisitions, in addition to his role as Blink’s General Counsel.
He has served as General Counsel since June 2018 and, in addition to those duties, will focus on the company’s M&A strategies as Blink continues to expand its market leadership position.
The new executives arrive with fresh ideas to solidify Blink Charging‘s commitment to electric mobility.
