RINA announces appointment of new ceo

The formal confirmation of the appointment will be made at the same time as the conclusion of Fondo Italiano d’Investimento’s acquisition of a minority stake in RINA S.p.A. This is expected to be concluded before the end of the year.

Luzzatto is expected to focus on pursuing the strategic plan, streamlining processes, and evolving towards business models and services that are increasingly centered on innovation and ESG principles.

The Italy-based classification society remains committed to listing on a stock exchange within the next 3-5 years. 

Luzzatto has accumulated significant experience in the energy, aerospace, and infrastructure sectors over the past 30 years. Luzzatto has held senior leadership positions – both in Italy and internationally – in both public and private companies, including General Electric, Ansaldo Energia, Chromalloy, and Impresa Pizzarotti.

Ugo Salerno will retain his position as Executive President, and will continue to play an integral role in the running of the company.

Paolo d’Amico, Chairman of Registro Italiano Navale, stated: “We are very pleased to welcome Carlo Luzzatto, who will be appointed CEO of RINA S.p.A. during the next Board of Directors. We are confident that Luzzatto, as CEO, and Salerno, in the role of Executive President, will provide further momentum to RINA’s growth trajectory”.
