The 2025 Spring General Assembly of the FTTH Council Europe brought together industry leaders and stakeholders from its pan-European membership to set strategic priorities and renew the organisation\u2019s leadership. The General Assembly resulted in the composition of a new Board of Directors, including a new President, and the election of new Committee Chairs. The full list can be found at the end of this release.<\/p>\n

The newly elected Board of Directors appointed Francesco Nonno, Director of Regulatory and European Affairs at Open Fiber S.p.A., as new President. The Board also nominated the Treasurer of the association, and introduced two new additional roles in a move to further strengthen the FTTH Council Europe\u2019s capacity to lead and deliver on its mission: the Vice-President Strategy and the Vice-President Membership. These roles will help sharpen the Council\u2019s strategic focus and expand member engagement as the fibre ecosystem continues to evolve.<\/p>\n

The new Board of Directors will work to ensure the European Union has an optimal regulatory environment, fostering the digital transformation of all European economies, with a particular focus on the decommission of legacy copper networks in support of the adoption of fibre.<\/p>\n

A core pillar of the Council\u2019s success will also lie in the strength of its eight highly active Committees, which continuously generate high-impact initiatives and expertise in support of fibre deployment, adoption, and sustainability. These Committees, which will be led by new Chairs elected in the context of the General Assembly, are instrumental in advancing the industry\u2019s Environmental, Social, and Governance objectives and enabling meaningful collaboration across the sector.<\/p>\n

In recognition of outstanding commitment to these collaborative efforts, the event also saw the presentation of the Member Engagement Individual Award, which was awarded to Christof Sommerberg, Head of Public Affairs at Deutsche Glasfaser. Sommerberg was acknowledged for his consistent involvement and impactful support across various activities of the FTTH Council Europe, exemplifying the spirit of active membership and collaborative leadership that defines the organisation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe context in which we operate is more complex and challenging than ever, making the FTTH Council Europe even more relevant\u201d, Nonno said in his first remarks. \u201cOur new leadership team mirrors the diversity of our membership and highlights the strategic importance we place on evolving our mission and scope. As an industry association, we are focused on creating value for our diverse membership base and continuing to strengthen our advocacy towards policymakers\u201d.<\/p>\n

The FTTH Council Europe looks forward to this new chapter under the guidance of its renewed leadership team and the continued engagement of its members.<\/p>\n
