Marco Patuano, New Chair of EWIA

The European Wireless Infrastructure Association (EWIA), the leading trade association of wholesale wireless infrastructure providers in Europe, is pleased to announce the appointment of Marco Patuano as the organisation’s new Chairperson with immediate effect. Marco succeeds Tobías Martínez Gimeno who stepped down after concluding his mandate on 31 August 2024 and having successfully led the association for the last four years. “We thank Tobías for his commitment to EWIA’s activities. His expertise and experience were invaluable these last four years as we move into a new era,” said Marco Patuano.

The appointment of EWIA’s new Chair comes at an opportune moment as the new European legislature takes shape and steers the industry towards greater harmonisation of connectivity regulations to foster cross-EU services and expanding networks. This is also in line with Marco’s vision where he states: “Assuming the role of Chair of EWIA is a great honour and responsibility. Together, we will champion connectivity while fostering collaboration and driving sustainable growth across our industry, ensuring a brighter, digital future for Europe.”

Marco Patuano was instated as Cellnex’s CEO in June 2023. He has more than 25 years of experience at TIM (Italy) during which he was Group CEO (2011-2016), Chief Commercial Officer-CCO (2009-2010) and CFO (2008-2009). His career has spanned a number of markets in both Europe and Latin America. He has been in director positions at Autogrill, Atlantia, GSM Association (GSMA), Utenti Pubblicita Associati and WAC Ltd, among others. Marco Patuano holds a master’s degree in finance from Bocconi University in Milan, Italy.
