Roberto Zoia, CEO of Igd and chairman of the CNCC, has passed away. With his passing, we have lost a tenacious individual, a tireless worker, and one of those people who know how to weather even the most difficult times without ever losing faith in their work or in the value of what they stand for.

As chief executive and chairman of the association, he was able to navigate challenging times, steering his organisation through turbulent waters, just as the retail property sector was going through a difficult period. He did so with determination, a sense of responsibility and the tenacity characteristic of those who do not give up easily.

We were fortunate enough to meet many years ago and to hold each other in high regard; my regard for him has certainly always been well-placed.

I like to think that he passed away having taken with him a small yet significant source of satisfaction: that of having discovered, right at the very end, signs of renewed interest in a sector to which he had devoted so much energy.

We are left with a sense of sadness at his passing, but also with respect for the life he led and for his legacy.

Roberto Zoia, born in Mantua in 1961, has spent his entire professional career in the commercial property sector.

In 1986, he joined Coopsette as Business Manager, overseeing the management of complex projects, with a particular focus on the development and construction of shopping centres.

In 1999, he joined the GS Carrefour Italia Group as Director of Hypermarket and Shopping Centre Development; in 2005, he took on the role of Director of Assets and Development at Carrefour Italia.

He joined IGD in 2006 as Director of Development and Asset Management. Since 2019, he has also been responsible for managing the Group’s network of shopping centres. In April 2024, he was appointed Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of IGD. He also holds the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors of the subsidiaries Porta Medicea, IGD Service and the Romanian subsidiary Win Magazine.

In October 2020, he was appointed Chairman of the CNCC – National Council of Shopping Centres, an independent, not-for-profit association that brings together stakeholders from the shopping centre, factory outlet, retail park and similar sectors. Prior to this, he served for six years (from May 2014 to October 2020) as Chair of the CNCC’s Real Estate Development and Investment Committee. In 2026, he was re-elected as Chair of the Association for a third term.
