Maria Grazia Testa

With almost three decades of international executive experience across the public, nonprofit, and private sectors, I bring a distinctive Board-level perspective on strategic transformation, governance, product and business model design, circular economy and sustainable development. I have held senior leadership roles—COO, CHRO, CFO, CIO and Transition Director—within global financial services and information technology firms, multilateral organisations (UN, EC), and social enterprises, leading complex change programs across Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas. My expertise spans ESG strategy, people and culture, regulatory transformation, and cross-sector, supply and value chains partnerships that align organisational and business performance with public value. I thrive in mission-driven environments where innovation, ethics, and systemic impact must be reconciled at scale.
