Thrilled to have been called to be part of the ‘founding team’ at DG MENA as we launch this new chapter today! Under the visionary leadership of Stefano Sannino and Henrike Trautman, and alongside an incredibly passionate group of colleagues, we're embarking on a mission to strengthen ties and foster lasting partnerships across the Middle East, North Africa, and the Gulf. This new Directorate-General is a clear signal of our commitment to the region: we’re here to listen, collaborate, and turn bold ambitions into real impact. It's an exciting, challenging responsibility, but we're ready for it. Onward with #EU4MENAGulf!
Congrats Francesca on this exciting step!..In these challenging times in the region, this chapter sounds like an essential development. I will keep an eye on it to see if somewhere there will be potential points to work together..;-)
Keep growing
Happy new beginnings and all the best of luck to you and the whole team !
Congratulations 👏🎉 best wishes
Good luck!
Congratulazioni, Francesca! Sono certo sarà "challenging" (per non dire "complicato"...), ma anche molto interessante e ricco di soddisfazioni lavorare nella nuova DG!
Wonderful news that you’re part of that first team. Good luck in the new role, Francesca!
Congratulations Francesca! Hope to be in Brussels next month and would be great to catch up
Congrats Francesca!

4wThis is so great! It is exciting to see the Comission launching this new DG for the Mediterranean region. I will keep an eye close to it. The drama we face in social and ecological dimension is huge but still reversible. I hope national teams get engaged quickly to stop the never ending crisis. Ps. You are a "founder" with a visionary leadership too. :'-)
