Flavio Cattaneo (Rho, Italy, June 27, 1963) is an Italian public and private manager, current CEO of Telecom Italia.
Graduated in Architecture at “Politecnico” University in Milan, he got a specialisation on business finance and management in the real estate sector at SDA Bocconi School of Management. In 1989 he started construction company, becoming an entrepreneur. In 1999 he became Commissioner of “Ente Fiera Milano”, which he turned into an “SpA”, holding the role of President and Chief Executive Officer, until 2003. He curated its Stock Exchange listing, securing a starting success to the company in 2002, at the Star Segment of the Italian Stock Exchange: it was the first society of its kind to choose this path. Between 1998 an 2001 he was Vicepresident of AEM (now A2A). In 2003 he was nominated General Director of Rai, supervising its fusion with the Holding. He also put its accounting in order. The next year, under his leadership, the company gained the highest income ever. From November 1, 2005 to May 27, 2014 (which means three consecutive offices, the highest number of turns allowed) he held the role of Chief Executive Officer of Terna S.p.A., the company owner of the Italian electricity supplying. He managed to solve the infrastructural gap of the electric network, as well as to make the R&D grow. Under his management, Terna’s Stock Exchange value has more than redoubled, securing the shareholders a total return, over the 300% (c.d. Total Shareholder Return, that means Stock Exchange performances and more dividends paid in that same period). Thanks to this job in 2010, Flavio Cattaneo was nominated Best Italian Manager – in the energy sector, he was the fifth among more than 40 European top managers. In December 2014, he became Board Member in one of Luca Cordero di Montezemolo’s societies, that is “Nuovo Trasporto Viaggiatori S.p.A.” as independent council member. At the beginning of 2015, NTV’s board of directors elected him as new Chief Executive Officer and was in charge until April 12, 2016, his resignation day. Under his management, the society registered its first positive balance sheet. Still at the end of 2014, he became board member of Generali Assicurazioni and Telecom Italia, alongside the roles of President and CEO of Fiera Milano and board member of Cementir Holding, NTV, as well as President of Domus Italia, real estate company belonging to Francesco Gaetano Caltagirone.
Starting March 30, 2016, he holds the role of Chief Executive Officer of Telecom Italia, replacing the resigning Marco Patuano. His responsibilities are related to the overall management of the Society and the Group, being in charge of conceiving and implementing strategic, financial and industrial plans.
