Appointment of Massimo Claudio Comparini as Deputy CEO, Senior Executive Vice President of Observation, Exploration and Navigation of Thales Alenia Space and CEO of Thales Alenia Space Italia
Thales Alenia Space, a joint venture between Thales (67%) and Leonardo (33%), today announces the appointment with immediate effect of Massimo Claudio Comparini as Deputy CEO, Senior Executive Vice President of the Observation, Exploration and Navigation of Thales Alenia Space and CEO by Thales Alenia Space Italia. Comparini will succeed Donato Amoroso.
“The space sector remains an Italian excellence to which Leonardo contributes mainly with very high technology products and services through the two Joint Ventures Telespazio and Thales Alenia Space. It is now clear that the sector needs greater synergy between manufacturing activities and those of the so-called 'downstream' in terms of policies, strategies and planning. The result of the last ministerial conference of the European countries has made clear - through an important investment - how much Italian institutions believe in the development of space activities. I am convinced that the appointment of Massimo Comparini as the new CEO of Thales Alenia Space Italia will allow us to give more and more our contribution as an industry and to take up new challenges related to the evolution of the sector in Italy and Europe by maximizing skills, investments and effects for institutions, companies and citizens ", said Alessandro Profumo, CEO of Leonardo. "In making best wishes to Massimo Comparini for the new challenge, I also want to express my most sincere thanks to Donato Amoroso for the commitment and the work done during his mandate, which has always seen him committed to the enhancement and protection of the company's technological and industrial excellence "concluded Alessandro Profumo.
