Alessandro Torello

Alessandro is responsible for the energy and climate practice of the Brussels office. He has worked in this space since 2008 – in journalism, for a trade association, a large corporation and now in consulting. As correspondent for Dow Jones/The Wall Street Journal in Brussels, he reported on energy and climate policies, analysing their impact on different industries. After a three-and-a-half-year stint at a trade association, he joined one of Italy’s largest energy companies, taking up different roles at the nexus between policy and communications. He developed a first-hand expertise on how to position business via-à-vis policy and advised C-suite executives. Before moving to Brussels, Alessandro was Bloomberg’s transport reporter in Rome.

At Rud Pedersen, he oversees and has worked with clients working in energy services, (bio)fuel production, new clean technologies for power production, as well as companies closely following carbon policy.

He was a high school exchange student and is still volunteering for the organisation that runs the programs. When he has time, he also trains for triathlons.
