Renato Mazzoncini is the CEO and Director-general of the Italian Railway holding company Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane Spa. He was elected Chairman of the International Union of Railways (UIC) on December 1, 2016.
He was born in 1968 in Brescia, Italy. In 1992 he graduated with a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Milan. He is married with three children.
Between 1995 and 2000, he was a member of a project team set up by Ansaldo Trasporti to build Copenhagen's automatic metro.
In the mid-nineties, when Mazzoncini was 26, the apartment complex where he lived blew up due to a gas leak. Elected as spokesperson for the complex by his neighbours, he dealt with the insurance company and arranged to have the apartments demolished and rebuilt. The owner of the construction company that was tasked with the job also owned Autoguidovie, a public transport company that focused on road transport. Impressed with his management skills, he offered Mazzoncini a job as team leader. In 1998, he became Director of the same company.
While he directed Autoguidovie, the company acquired holdings in various public transport companies owned by local bodies. Among these was the public transportutility of Reggio Emilia, the mayor of which, at the time, was Graziano Delrio, currently Italian Minister of Infrastructures and Transports.
