He has held top positions in numerous companies of national and international importance, including listed companies, demonstrating solid expertise in corporate governance and international development processes. He has also held important positions in public administration, as Councillor for the Municipality of Milan and Lombardy Regional Authorities, Advisor to the President of the Senate and Advisor to the Minister of Defence. An expert in strategic marketing and internationalisation processes, he is the author of publications on the enhancement of the territory and international economic relations.

"First of all, I would like to thank President Attilio Fontana, the Regional Council and the Regional Executive Board of Lombardy, as well as the Mayor of Milan, Giuseppe Sala, for the trust they have placed in me. Thanks also go to all the stakeholders involved, who will be a fundamental point of reference during my term of office, in a systemic perspective that will include all the local realities: industrial, commercial, craft, agricultural, cooperative and associative, together with human resources, a substantial and irreplaceable part of every enterprise," said Giovanni Bozzetti, President of Fondazione Fiera Milano. "Fondazione Fiera Milano plays a strategic role in the development of the local area, the city and the entire economic and social system of Lombardy, with significant repercussions at national level. A crucial phase lies ahead, marked by complex challenges but also extraordinary opportunities: from the Olympics to the construction of the building that will house the new Rai production centre. The Foundation," continued the new president, "is a solid organisation with positive financial results, ready to further strengthen its role as an active and proactive shareholder of Fiera Milano, to continue its support for the third sector and to enhance its assets. Together with the General Council, the Executive Committee and all those already working within the Foundation, we will tackle this journey with passion, commitment and a sense of responsibility."

"I would like to express my sincere congratulations to Giovanni Bozzetti on his appointment as President of Fondazione Fiera Milano. I am confident that, thanks to his vast experience and in his expertise, he will successfully carry on the work of this institution, which is fundamental for our territory. In recent years, Fondazione Fiera Milano has established itself as a valuable institutional presence capable of supporting and strengthening the strategies of the Municipality and the Region. I would like to thank the outgoing governance for this - commented Attilio Fontana, President of the Lombardy Region. Today, the Foundation represents a strategic asset for Lombardy and for the entire national economic system, and I am sure that under Bozzetti's leadership it will continue to be a point of reference for the development, innovation and growth of our region'.

"Fondazione Fiera Milano is a strategic partner and interlocutor for the city," commented Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala. At local, national and international level, we are going through a period full of challenges to be faced and opportunities to be seized, starting with those offered by the upcoming Winter Olympics and Paralympics. In this context, Fondazione Fiera Milano is called upon to make an important contribution in terms of expertise, pragmatism and foresight in the interests of the city and the country. I therefore wish President Bozzetti, Vice-Presidents Corritore and Pierrakea and all the members of the newly appointed General Council every success in their work. I am sure that we will be able to collaborate in a fruitful and responsible manner, also promoting the many productive and associative realities that make our territory a point of reference in Italy and worldwide."
