Board of Directors members
Director
Antonio Matta
Antonio brings with him to REPX significant knowledge and experience in the area of advertising and communications, marketing and public relations, being active as an entrepreneur, owner and CEO of his own communications agencies. The passion and dedication that he always puts into his work has allowed him to develop over the years a broad and always up-to-date knowledge of advertising and marketing tools and techniques, as well as expertise in the area of public relations with public and private institutions, thus also contributing with his management consulting to the business development of consortiums and private companies that play an important role in the Italian business landscape. His experience in managerial roles - which is an important background for REPX - ranges from publishing (media outlets, newspapers and news, tv/radio, publications) to the field of public administration, as well as the management of highly structured companies, such as utilities (in fact, he was also Chairman and CEO of an interesting multi-utility company), where he honed a propensity for solving complex problems that must combine sensitivity to budget issues and knowledge of relevant regulations. Due to his in-depth knowledge of the mechanisms of the industries in which he works, he has extensive experience in business negotiations and intellectual property development and protection. Antonio is also a member of the National Order of Journalists in Italy and with his publishing house, he has also previously been the editor of numerous publications (one also contained in the national state archives as 'heritage of Italy').
