Renato Mazzoncini is an Italian businessman and the CEO and Managing Director of A2A. [1]
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-1990s, when Mazzoncini was 26, a gas leak caused the apartment complex where he lived to explode. As a spokesperson for the complex, he arranged to have the apartments demolished and rebuilt. The owner of the construction company in charge of the project also owned Autoguidovie, a public transport company specialising in road transport. After their contact due to the gas leak he offered Mazzoncini a job as team leader. In 1998, he became director of the same company. [2]
While he directed Autoguidovie, the company acquired holdings in various public transport companies owned by local bodies. Among these was the Reggio Emilia Public Transport Authority, whose mayor at the time was Graziano Delrio, Italy's Minister of Infrastructure and Transport.
In 2012, Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane Spa introduced a new company called Busitalia, which aimed to expand the group's role in the public road transport sector. Mauro Moretti, at the time CEO of the group, personally asked Mazzoncini to head this new holding. He accepted, at the condition that he would be CEO and Director-general of every new company held by Busitalia. The first acquisition he made while at Busitalia was Azienda Trasporti Area Fiorentina, the public transport network operator in Florence. While restructuring ATAF, he met Matteo Renzi, who at the time was mayor of Florence and would go on to become Prime Minister. Their partnership reportedly started with a quarrel: a raise in the prices of bus tickets prompted a very heated reaction from an infuriated Renzi, who phoned Mazzoncini while he was skiing in Northern Italy. [3] After meeting in person, the two reportedly got along much better.
In 2014, Busitalia and Autoguidovie formed a joint venture, giving rise to the biggest local public transport player in the country.
In 2015, he became CEO of Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane Spa, replacing Moretti. He stated that Renzi and Delrio, at the time respectively Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructures and Transports, offered him the role because both of them had previously experienced first-hand his abilities as CEO. [2]
In 2016, Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane approved a new Industrial Plan for the 2017-2026 period, which includes 94 billion € in investments and aims to develop both the regional rail transport and freight transport sectors. [4] [5] [6]
He was elected Chairman of the International Union of Railways (UIC) on December 1, 2016.
In 2017, the holding launched a new company called Mercitalia, which aimed to unify the previously fragmented position of the group in the freight transport sector. [7]
He was appointed as a Professor in Mobility: Infrastructure and Services at the Polytechnic University of Milan. [8]
In 2018, Mazzoncini was elected as CEO and COO of Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane Spa.
On 25 July 2018, Renato Mazzoncini was removed from his roles in Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane by the Minister of Infrastructures and Transport, Danilo Toninelli. [9] [ why? ]
On 13 May 2020, Mazzoncini become CEO and Managing Director of A2A [1] [10]
