Maria Anghileri, from Lecco, class of 1987, was elected President of the Young Entrepreneurs with more than 95% of votes from the National Assembly and enters by right into Emanuele Orsini's senior team as vice-president of Confindustria.

Degree in Law from Bocconi University, qualified to practice law. She completed her education abroad, at Columbia University, and completed the Owner President Management programme at Harvard Bussiness School. Within the association, she was national vice-president in the outgoing Young Entrepreneurs team with responsibility for business culture and industrial policy where she was in charge of the GenerAzioni project, dedicated to generational transition in family businesses. Since joining the movement in 2015, she has held the positions of vice-president of the young groups of Confindustria Lecco Sondrio, Confindustria Lombardia and Assolombarda.
Now in the role of Operations Director, she joined the Eusider Group in 2016, a family business for four generations active in the steel industry. The Group operates in Italy with 18 locations throughout the country, with 900 employees and 1.5 million tonnes processed per year.

In his inaugural speech, Anghileri outlined the strategic lines of the Movement's programme for the four-year period 2024-2028: 'In recent years we are learning to live with increasingly rapid and pervasive change. One quality that distinguishes us as young entrepreneurs is precisely that we are able to see opportunities in change and to take the risk of going down new paths. We are there and our action will focus on three key words: business, people, Europe. We are needed, our companies, our ideas'. Among the new president's projects is the 'Policy Yard', which, together with the most qualified think tanks and research centres, will develop analyses and proposals on decisive issues on the national and European political-economic agenda; the 'Business friendly index', to measure the impact of European measures on business competitiveness; and a new collaboration between industry and third sector players.
