Laura Ranieri

Executive Project Director

About

I am a Project Manager and Chemical Engineer with extensive experience leading research, innovation, and sustainability projects across chemical manufacturing, electroplating, precious-metal recovery, and environmental technologies. For more than 20 years, I have supported companies and research institutions in developing new processes, improving efficiency, and reducing environmental impact. My work focuses on managing complex R&D initiatives, coordinating multidisciplinary teams, and ensuring that projects meet technical, regulatory, and funding requirements. I have a strong background in Industry 4.0 solutions, circular economy projects, wastewater treatment, and the recovery of valuable materials from electronic waste. I enjoy building partnerships between industry and research, solving technical challenges, and guiding projects from concept to implementation. My goal is to contribute to sustainable industrial development through innovation, collaboration, and practical, results-oriented project management.
