Andrea Biondello
Gino Mattarelli Consortium (CGM)
Born in Ivrea (Italy) on May 3, 1970, the city of Adriano Olivetti, I was raised with a deep appreciation for the values of a civil economy. This upbringing profoundly shaped my life choices and guided me toward the world of social enterprise. Since 2004, I have been dedicated to this sector, starting as an operator and gradually advancing to managerial and leadership roles.
Currently, I serve as the Vice President of the Giuliano Accomazzi Social Cooperative, which has been active in Turin since 1989. The cooperative focuses on early childhood services, social inclusion, and job placement.
In addition, I am the President of CoAbitare, a social enterprise engaged in urban regeneration. Our mission is to develop social housing projects that foster new ways of living and connecting within the city.
Since 2019, I have been a member of the Board of Directors of the Gino Mattarelli Consortium (CGM), a national network of over 600 social cooperatives. CGM is dedicated to advancing an innovative and inclusive model of social enterprise, aimed at creating positive impacts on citizens' well-being and community development.
On a personal note, I am married and the proud adoptive father of a wonderful 15-year-old girl from Burkina Faso. I have a passion for jazz music and have been playing the drums for many years.
About Gino Mattarelli Consortium (CGM)
CGM is a Consortium operating on a national scale through a large Network of territorial consortia, businesses, and social cooperatives.
CGM’s main role is to support the local networks’ action in response to the needs of communities and to encourage the development and economic productivity of its members by adopting sustainable, inclusive, replicable models capable of generating opportunities in the territories.
CGM co-generates entrepreneurial spaces and places built on the values shared by its members, with whom it works on regeneration, on local development and protection of internal areas, on innovative welfare services and on technologies, on social agriculture, on social housing and cultural enhancement.
CGM encourages and supports the development of its social network through both the provision of qualified and advanced corporate services and the implementation of impact projects that promote the development of consortia and cooperatives.
CGM meets the requests and needs of its members by offering support in planning, innovation, training, and consultancy applied both to the more traditional fields of personal care (minors, elderly, immigrants, disabled people) and to sectors of social innovation (environment, living, technology, art and culture, tourism, employment support).
The variety of sectors proves how our Network is a lively reality, attentive to the demands and needs of the territory and the communities, with a very high degree of innovation that makes CGM a platform of exchange and discussion with and for social enterprises.
