Another strategic area, Marketing, sees the arrival of Fabia Bernacchi to cover the position of Head of Marketing and Communications. Fabia brings 15 years of experience with her which she has gained in international companies such as Mckinsey, Marsh&McLennan, FinecoBank and the law firm BonelliErede. In line with Ambienta’s continued focus on the key issues of its business, the Sustainability and Strategy team is bolstered with the addition of Daniela Popa, ESG Manager, who will focus on the company’s “ESG in Action Programme”. Previously, Daniela gained 10 years of management experience with a focus on sustainability at PwC.
Alessio Vian and Fabrizio Sebastiani complete these new hires and are both going to cover the role of Finance Associate. Alessio has experience as an analyst which he gained in Assietta Private Equity and then in Intermonte SIM, within the Investment Banking division. Fabrizio has been part of DeA Capital RE, finance and control division, and has a background in consulting at Deloitte.
