PDU Director
Fabrizio Pelosi, Lead Partnership Development Unit
Fabrizio Pelosi is an Italian engineer from Naples, as he likes to say, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. He considers himself a citizen of the world. Thanks to the Erasmus Mundus program, he had the opportunity to broaden his horizons, discover new cultures, and fully develop his adaptability.
After spending more than ten years working on major infrastructure projects around the globe, he decided to return to Italy, where he continues to work as an engineer. He is also a Prince2-certified Project Manager and speaks fluent Italian, English, Spanish, and
French. His journey started with Erasmus Mundus; he received so much from that experience, and now that he is back home, he feels a strong responsibility to give back through the association, after already contributing during its early years as CR Italy.
As Lead of the EMA Partnership Development Unit, his goal is to build strategic alliances to strengthen EMA, expand its global presence, and create tangible value for its members. He brings the full support of his international network to the association to make this vision a reality.
Fabrizio enjoys traveling, discovering new cultures, and connecting with people around the world. He is passionate about continuous learning and professional development and, like most Italians, is a huge football fan.
