Fabio had a brilliant professional career. Initially a consultant at Accenture, he quickly turned to banking and finance, beginning his venture within the financial sphere at Ersel, later becoming CEO of Banco di Roma and Fineco. In 2008, he became CEO of BNL, the Italian subsidiary of BNP Paribas, and he would later head all BNP Paribas Group activities in Italy. In 2015, he became CEO of Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (CDP), alongside Claudio Costamagna as Chairman. Under his leadership CDP was recognized by law both as National Promotional Institution and as Institution for International Development and Cooperation. With the introduction of the Juncker Plan, and relying on the EIB and the ELTI network, Cassa’s influence continued to multiply. From a national standpoint, this NPI was always involved in many operations which favor the Italian economy. However, CDP also revived itself at European level by multiplying contacts with its German, Spanish, Polish and, of course, French counterparts.
