About Anna Acanfora

I have 15+ years of international experience in energy transition, business strategy, and growth leadership. My passion lies in bridging innovation, sustainability, and commercial success—delivering strategies that drive both impact and profitability. From shaping corporate strategy to optimizing commercial frameworks, I’ve led initiatives that have increased efficiency, reduced costs, and accelerated the deployment of renewable energy. My work spans from designing commissioning frameworks that enhance sales performance to driving digital transformation in the energy sector. I’ve also contributed to global initiatives like the World Economic Forum’s Net Zero Carbon Cities program, helping cities transition toward a cleaner future. Beyond strategy and execution, I am deeply committed to education and dissemination, making the complexities of the energy transition more accessible. Through writing and academic collaborations, I translate industry insights into clear, actionable narratives—helping businesses, policymakers, and the public engage with the challenges and opportunities of a sustainable future. I thrive in dynamic environments where cross-functional collaboration and strategic thinking drive results. Always curious and forward-looking, I believe in fostering dialogue, developing talent, and building solutions that accelerate a sustainable energy future.
