The Luxembourg Sustainable Finance Initiative (LSFI) is delighted to announce the appointment of Nicoletta Centofanti as its General Manager.

Nicoletta joined the LSFI in 2020 as a sustainability adviser and held the role of interim general manager from May 2022. She is an environmental engineer from Politecnico di Milano and holds an Executive MBA from SDA Bocconi University in Milan.

Nicoletta is enthusiastic about impact investing, social businesses, and Environmental, Social and Governance drivers. She is committed to supporting financial players and companies to transition towards increased sustainability and impact.

Ms Centofanti has played a central role for the LSFI, including the Initiative’s set-up, the kick-off of its activities and the consolidation of its mission.

“I am delighted to undertake the role of General Manager and thus continue supporting and advancing the LSFI’s very important mission. Sustainable finance has rapidly evolved over the last few years, and it is now at a turning point where the journey needs to be intensified and streamlined. The LSFI, as Luxembourg’s coordinating entity in sustainable finance, plays a key role in supporting this process. I am committed to work to advance the transition towards sustainability and, especially, to help the Luxembourg financial sector by providing its players with the instruments and guidance to do so while aiming to achieve a positive impact in our economies and society”.  – Nicoletta Centofanti, LSFI’s General Manager.

The appointment of the general manager, which was approved by the LSFI’s board on 28th February 2023, aims to continue to reinforce and to consolidate the role of the Luxembourg Sustainable Finance Initiative. Through her in-depth experience and know-how, Nicoletta will focus on raising awareness, unlocking the sectors’ potential, and measuring progress, closely working with all LSFI stakeholders from the financial industry, the inclusive finance sector, civil society, education and research, and corporates. 

The LSFI Team would also like to thank Claire de Boursetty, former General Manager, for steering the LSFI from 2020 to 2022.
