MIB Trieste School of Management has just renewed its Board of Directors, welcoming three new members.
Joining the board are Andrea Illy, Chairman of illycaffè; Cristian Fabbri, Executive Chairman of Hera Group; and Alberta Gervasio, Chairwoman of Civibank.
Cristiano Borean, CFO of Generali Group, has been reappointed as Chairman of the Board, with Giacomo Campora, CEO and General Manager of Allianz Spa, continuing as Vice Chairman. The existing internal members of MIB have also been confirmed, with founder Vladimir Nanut continuing as CEO, Andrea Tracogna as Dean, and Francesco Venier as Dean of Executive Education.
The board also retains its experienced members, including Camilla Benedetti, Vice-Chairwoman of Danieli Group; Zeno D’Agostino; Diego De Giorgi, Group CFO of Standard Chartered PLC; Pierroberto Folgiero, CEO of Fincantieri; and Stefano Venier, CEO of Snam.
"I would like to express my gratitude to the board members who have reaffirmed their commitment to serve another term, and warmly welcome our three new members: Andrea Illy, Alberta Gervasio, and Cristian Fabbri. Their exceptional expertise and experience will be invaluable assets for our school, laying a fertile ground for new significant initiatives," said Cristiano Borean, Chairman of MIB. "We are all committed to supporting the growth of MIB Trieste School of Management, which plays a crucial role in developing the leadership of our economic and business systems. I also want to extend my gratitude to board members who have worked with us over the past years, Michela Del Piero and Diego Bravar, and take this opportunity to remember Claudio Sambri.”
Andrea Illy commented, "As an entrepreneur from Trieste, I am honored to join the Board of Directors of the Trieste Business School. It is a dynamic institution that is continually updating, shaping future managers with essential values like leadership, commitment, ethics, and collaboration."
Alberta Gervasio added, "The development and growth of local enterprises are also driven by the opportunities provided by MIB, with educational pathways among the best in Europe. The partnership between Civibank and Trieste School of Management is well-established, based on shared values and strong roots in the Northeast. I am convinced that this synergy will create new opportunities for people and businesses, enhancing skills and strengthening leadership to achieve strategic goals that benefit not only the company but the entire economic and social fabric of the area."
Cristian Fabbri recalled, "MIB is a management school that bridges the academic world with businesses, accelerating the development of new managerial skills needed to navigate rapidly changing markets, influenced by a highly volatile macroeconomic context. The decade-long partnership between MIB and Hera Group is highly valued, and being able to contribute more directly to MIB's activities is of great significance to us."
The board meeting also provided an opportunity to review the school's performance: "The financial results of 2023 are decidedly positive, showing growth in production value across all operational areas, despite the complexity of geopolitical scenarios and the macroeconomic framework. We can confirm that the market for managerial training in the post-Covid era is inclined towards growth, particularly in the area of executive education targeted at enterprises, managers, and entrepreneurs," concluded Chairman Borean.
