PSA Italy: Chairman transition in Venice and Genoa from Marco Conforti to Dirk Jan Storm


Genoa/Venice, April 29, 2026 – The Shareholders’ Meeting of PSA Genoa Investments— the holding company owned 72% by PSA International and 28% by Fair Market Value Capital Partners and TD Greystone Infrastructure Fund —has approved the renewal of the corporate bodies and the appointment of the new Chairman of PSA Italy, marking the handover from Marco Conforti to Dirk Jan Storm at the helm of the Italian business units of the PSA International Group.
The new Board of Directors will be composed of Dirk Jan Storm, EM&A Regional CEO; Roberto Ferrari, CEO of PSA Genoa Investments; Terence Lee, EM&A Regional CFO; and Pascal Reinards, Head of Corporate Development for PSA, alongside Jeff Mouland and Danny Hong representing Fair Market Value Capital Partners and TD Greystone Infrastructure Fund.

Following the natural expiration of his three-year term, Marco Conforti concludes his mandate as Chairman. Appointed in February 2023 by the Board of Directors of PSA Genoa Investments, Conforti—whose career has been marked by his role in supporting the Group’s entry into the terminals of Genoa and Venice since 1998, the first European investments of PSA, and by his subsequent position as EM&A Regional Senior Advisor, as well as leadership roles in prestigious industry associations such as Assiterminal, Confetra and Feport—has led PSA Italy through a period of relevant transformation in the port terminal and international logistics sectors.

During his tenure, the companies of the PSA Italy Group—PSA Genova Pra’, PSA SECH and PSA Venice-Vecon, operating in the major ports of Genoa and Venice—have strengthened their strategic role within the Italian and Mediterranean port system, maintaining national leadership in gateway logistics handling of container traffic.

«I am particularly grateful for the opportunity to have contributed to the development of PSA Italy over these years - said Conforti - I leave behind solid organizations, fully aware of the challenges ahead and ready to face the significant transformations affecting the port terminal industry and the entire logistics chain with determination. I am confident that the Group will continue to strengthen its positioning thanks to its expertise, industrial vision and capacity for innovation. The new challenges our terminals will face represent a concrete step toward the future, and I am proud and honored to have been part of this transformation.»

Dirk Jan Storm, newly appointed Regional CEO Europe of PSA International, succeeds Conforti and assume the role of Chairman of the Group’s Italian business units.

A manager with over 25 years of international experience in finance and general management, Storm has held top executive roles in complex industrial and multinational environments, operating across Europe, the Middle East, the Americas, Africa and Asia. Throughout his career, he has led major extraordinary transactions—including financial restructuring processes, industrial mergers and the development of large-scale greenfield projects—gaining solid experience in the Aluminium industry and terminal operations sectors.

His strong financial expertise, combined with a strategic vision focused on business development and integration, positions Dirk Jan Storm, Regional CEO Europe and Chairman of PSA Italy, as a key leader to support PSA Italy in its next phase of growth and to deliver on the strategic projects currently underway at PSA Genova Pra’ and PSA SECH in Genoa, and at PSA Venice-Vecon in Venice.
