An important moment in the history of SYSTRA Italy, as we shared new Governance and opened an exciting new chapter for our company. During our company-wide meetings in the Trento and Rome offices, we announced that – effective 1 January 2026 – Erica Calatozzo, currently Chief Operating Officer, will step into the role of Chief Executive Officer, and Arnaud Valranges, SVP Group Strategy & Growth, will become the new Chairman of SYSTRA Italy.
“I truly think that an individual can spark an idea, but only a team can bring it to life for the future. We have a very strong heritage and a very strong base to build our future. My goal is to further strengthen our position in the engineering and D&B sectors, by continuing to invest in our people, commercial activities, in technical excellence, and in innovation. The commercial part will be key in the coming years, not only in Italy but also abroad. I assure my complete and full commitment in this new role, and I thank you again for the trust you place in me. Now let’s move forward together with a lot of courage and passion.”
Erica Calatozzo
Their experience, vision, and commitment to excellence will guide our teams into the future with renewed energy and purpose. This leadership transition also marks the conclusion of an important journey. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the outgoing management team, Paolo Cucino and Paolo Mazzalai, for their dedication, their contributions, and the solid foundation they have built over the years. Their work has been essential in shaping who we are today, and we remain deeply grateful for their service and leadership.
“I’m proud now to pass the torch to Erica. Erica, you have earned this role for sure, and I trust you will lead SYSTRA Italy into a future of growth while preserving the values and the culture that we built together. But the most important gratitude I have for all of you, is that I see in your eyes every piece of the story and every step of the journey we have done together.”
Paolo Cucino
As we look ahead, we embrace a future focused on innovation, collaboration, and sustainable engineering. With Erica Calatozzo and Arnaud Valranges at the helm, SYSTRA Italy is ready to strengthen its role in the industry, continue delivering complex, high-impact projects, and invest in the talent and growth of our people.
We would also like to express our sincere thanks to Jean-Charles Vollery, CEO of SYSTRA Group, for his presence and support during this important event, an invaluable sign of unity, trust, and shared ambition across the Group. Here’s to new perspectives, new ambitions, and a shared commitment to excellence.
