CARLALBERTO GUGLIELMINOTTI

Carlalberto Guglielminotti, 37, is Chief Executive Officer of ENGIE Eps since 2013. In October 2013, he was appointed the CEO of Electro Power Systems (EPS), to manage Chapter 11 of what was, at that time, a research center and a spin-off of the Polytechnic University of Turin.

In May 2014, after spearheading in record time the complex financial restructuring of the research center, Mr. Guglielminotti launched a new start-up, using an innovative technology which had been developed in 2005 for the telecommunications sector, and redirected its target application to the energy markets.

Less than one year later, in April 2015, he was leading the Initial Public Offering (IPO) of the company, listing EPS on the Paris stock exchange with a market capitalization of €55 million. EPS had then quickly grown to become a global industrial player.

Eight months later, in December 2015, Mr. Guglielminotti launched a capital increase and funded the acquisition of a spin-off of the Polytechnic University of Milan to complete the company’s technological portfolio.
