Stefano Venier

Senior Advisor and Board Member | Driving Energy Transition with Strategic Vision

Greater Milan Metropolitan Area

About

With over 30 years of experience in the energy and utilities sector, I have a proven track record of leading complex and successful acquisition, integration, business development, and strategic planning projects. As the CEO of Snam – one of the world's leading energy infrastructure operators in natural gas transportation, dispatching, storage, and LNG regasification services – I was responsible for driving the company's strategic vision and growth in the European and global markets. I have also been a member of the board of MIB Trieste School of Management since 2018, where I shared my insights and knowledge on the management within the energy sector and on the environment. My core competencies include energy, innovation, sustainability, stakeholder engagement, and digital transformation. I am curious by nature and passionate about creating value for the society and the environment through clean energy solutions and circular economy initiatives. I am keen to collaborate with diverse and talented teams to achieve common goals and make a positive impact on the world. I have always considered teamwork and a shared vision as essential for engaging stakeholders, encompassing not only the value to be distributed but also the value to be generated. The ultimate goal is to nourish and spread that trust in the future which, today - as never before - stands as one of the most crucial intangible assets.
