Pier Silvio Berlusconi Becomes First Media CEO to Top Italy’s Reputation Index

Mediaset’s editorial overhaul coupled with MFE-MediaForEurope’s autonomous European expansion has driven the media sector’s rise in digital prominence.

Overview

  • August’s Osservatorio update placed Berlusconi at number one overall, ending a five-year dominance by finance, energy and fashion executives.
  • He reached this milestone after 23 consecutive months leading the media sector ranking and more than a year in the overall top ten.
  • The Osservatorio Top Manager Reputation index gauges CEOs’ digital visibility, online authority and public perception.
  • Observers attribute his top position to Mediaset’s blend of popular-quality programming and a relaunch of generalist broadcasting.
  • MFE-MediaForEurope is among the few Italian groups expanding autonomously across Europe while maintaining its industrial identity and domestic value creation.
