Antonio Franchi Email Address

Head of Space for 5G and 6G Strategic Programme

ESA provides funding as well as technical and business support for the development of space-based products, services and applications.

With 30 years’ experience in the telecommunications sector, I’ve developed sound commercial acumen to complement my strong technical expertise. I specialise in satellite telecommunications, 5G and programme management, and have a solid record of success in delivering innovative new products. I enjoy keeping my technical knowledge up to date, by staying abreast of technological advances and maintaining a strong network within the industry. I’ve fostered positive relationships with colleagues, clients, suppliers, investors and external agencies, and take pride in my strong negotiation and influencing skills. As a leader I consider myself to be motivational and visionary, and take pride in providing coaching and mentoring to individuals and offering opportunities for team development. This has enabled me to build cohesive and high-performing teams. Having operated at a senior level for many years now, I’m confident developing business strategies and managing financial activities to ensure efficient, cost effective and profitable operations in line with commercial objectives.
