Under his guidance, the Enel brand has taken on a global dimension, and a much stronger digital positioning, and today Enel stands clearly for its leadership of the transition of the energy sector. Simone and Roberto both bring a wealth of managerial experience to their respective new roles, having held a variety of senior positions in several different areas of the business over more than a decade. Their experience will enable us to continue the positive momentum we have in Communications as well as in our operations across Europe and North Africa. I wish Roberto, Simone and Ryan all the best in their future roles.”
