Forbes Italia CFO Summit 2026: Christian De Felice, CFO and Chief Strategy Officer of the Almaviva Group, selected among the 50 CFOs leading Italian companies through the challenges of artificial intelligence, uncertain markets, and sustainability, attended the event held at Duomo Space in Milan.

Speaking as part of the panel "The CFO as a Driver of Growth: Innovation, Technology, and Business Efficiency", De Felice highlighted how the role of the CFO has expanded and transformed in a global market. “No longer simply an administrative director, but a strategic leader, a kind of right hand to the CEO. Today, a CFO must combine analytical and supervisory skills with a forward-looking perspective and a business-oriented outlook, viewing artificial intelligence as a valuable ally. During the discussion, De Felice also emphasized that "there can be no effective business strategy without full control of the numbers, including prospective ones, and vice versa."

At the Forbes event, moderated by Antonio Ravenna, De Felice recalled the strong and continuous growth of the Almaviva Group in recent years, driven in part by extraordinary transactions and acquisitions in Italy and abroad.
