— A QUARTER OF A CENTURY IN ENERGY

I have spent 23 years working in the energy industry before accepting to be a partner of a leader in the executive search industry, the HTP Group. 

In the energy industry, I have been experiencing the daily transformation of electricity systems. I started from the pioneering phase of electronic meters and the change they induced in the supply to consumers to witnessing the imperious progress of renewable energy sources. I completed the journey tracking the advanced digitalisation that permeated the entire sector, transforming it and integrating the most advanced cybersecurity techniques in critical facilities and installations. 

I also witnessed dynamic utilities leveraging not just the mechanics of digitalisation but its full integration with artificial intelligence, followed by the applications of generative AI down all the streams of that industry.

In between, I went through the downsizing of thermal and fossil generation. I closely followed the European authorisation processes for nuclear power installations, the hype and experimental phase of carbon capture and storage initiatives (and their resurgence), the start of the debate on emissions trading and the ETS market evolution — all returning issues in the energy world in demand of accurate and balanced competences.

Turning points of my professional experience include introducing sustainability practices in the leading European utility and, finally, European legislative and regulatory advocacy and lobbying prolonged by the coordination of the European Association of Large Electricity Distributors.

All of this brought me in personal and very close contact with the best of the managerial generations that have been able to capitalise most on their transversal and profound experiences in all European energy companies.

Previously, I spent many years in the automotive industry dealing with corporate affairs and international corporate communication; moreover, I  directed corporate external and institutional relations in Germany for a global manufacturer.

In the past, I also relied on a solid and rapid career in Italian economic journalism, where I have also been a special correspondent for international economics and finance and editor-in-chief of leading financial magazines and industry publications.

During my professional career, I had the opportunity to work as a consultant with a leading firm for five years. This experience was gained during a crucial time in the evolution of various industries. I was fortunate enough to be involved in several fundamental strategic decisions that big names in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry, banking, insurance, retail, and services were facing. These decisions included restructuring and mergers that helped shape the direction of these businesses: insurance, retail, and services were facing. And these decisions included restructuring and mergers thus helping to shape the direction of these industries.
