Alessandro Bertoldi is the founder and sole director of AB GROUP srl. A public affairs and institutional communications consultant, he represents the interests of Italian and international companies and organizations in their dealings with institutional decision-makers, always with a strong focus on the public interest. Since 2017, he has been one of the first to be registered as Interest Representatives at the Chamber of Deputies.
He was the founder, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and CEO of the public relations firm PubliGroup Italia, founded in March 2014. In 2015, he co-founded the consulting group PubliGroup Advisors and Alessandro Bertoldi Consulting (2016), both firms specializing in corporate communications, indirect communications, lobbying, and political communications.
In March 2018, he founded AB GROUP Srl, of which he is sole director, with the aim of consolidating all the consulting and entrepreneurial activities carried out up to that point into a single company. This firm has become a partnership with other high-profile consultants and entrepreneurs as partners. Alongside her public affairs activities, she also focuses on institutional and political communications.
Over the past ten years, she has personally organized dozens of turnkey communications campaigns, including local and national electoral and referendum campaigns, for various political and economic entities, both in Italy and abroad.
She manages political and institutional relations for various economic and financial groups, including international ones, managing their communications and market presence, also in light of ongoing regulatory changes in specific sectors of interest, particularly in areas such as public diplomacy, public gaming, healthcare, facility management, and civil and individual rights.
As a columnist, she has occasionally collaborated with the Jerusalem Post (Israel), EuReporter (Brussels), Il Giornale, Libero Quotidiano, L’Opinione, L’Intraprendente, Agenzia Stampa Italia, and others.
Previously, he helped form the Italian delegation to numerous international conferences organized in Belgrade (2011), Rome (2012), Tel Aviv (2012), Venice (2013), Milan (2013), and others of the same cycle. He has also organized, as a leader, or contributed to the organization of dozens of conferences on a wide variety of cultural and economic topics, in Italy and abroad.
He maintains excellent relations with the moderate Arab and Islamic world, so much so that in November 2019, on behalf of the Friedman Institute, he organized the conference in Rome entitled “The Situation in Libya. Terrorism, Economy, and Immigration,” which was attended by the Libyan Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.
