group general counsel | Maire Tecnimont
In 2013 Fabio Fagioli became general counsel of the Maire Tecnimont group after proving his competency in previous roles including at Technip KTI S.p.A (a subsidiary of Technip Italy S.p.A.), where he was responsible for the creation and management of the legal department. As part of a management team that effectively achieve and overcome company challenges and achieve company targets, Fagioli and his team have facilitated Maire Tecnimont’s ‘revival’ on the market, achieving targets unprecedented by the group beforehand. During a period of deep change where the core business of the engineering and contracting company has been refocused and remodelled, Fagioli identified several ways in which a newly-structured legal department could assist the wider group. Influencing the legal department in addition to organisation structure, Fagioli emphasised human relationships and encouraged his colleagues to take an entrepreneurial attitude to their decision-making. A manager with his finger firmly on the pulse, Fagioli identifies various legal matters in the market, in addition to renewing internal group standards to reflect the changing strategy and business model of the company. In real terms, Fagioli’s department have achieved noticeable successes; the company’s expansion requiring them to manage tenders and contract negotiations in new geographical areas, minimising risks with new projects and contracts plus resolving important litigations in judicial and extrajudicial seats.
