About

International infrastructure executive and Managing Director of OLT Offshore LNG Toscana SpA, operator of one of Italy’s key maritime and energy import facilities. With a background spanning large-scale industrial assets, regulated infrastructure, and complex offshore operations, I oversee the full spectrum of company functions – including safety and asset integrity, finance and administration, permitting and regulatory affairs, commercial strategy, legal and insurance, HR and personnel management, and new business development – while serving as a board member. Throughout my tenure, I have worked with diverse international shareholders (Iren, Endesa, E.ON, Igneo Infrastructure Partners and Snam), gaining extensive experience in corporate governance, integration, and cross-cultural management. Beyond LNG, my work has involved broader strategic considerations around critical infrastructure, resilience, long-term investment, and stakeholder engagement at national and international levels. I have been an active member of the Society of International Gas Tanker and Terminal Operators (SIGTTO) since 2008 and Chair of the General Purposes Committee since 2022. I maintain a strong professional network in Italy and abroad, spanning infrastructure, maritime operations, utilities, and institutional sectors.
