Synhelion welcomes David Manlio Iosimi to its Board of Directors

Synhelion has appointed David Manlio Iosimi to its Board of Directors, succeeding Board member and Synhelion Co-Founder Francesco Bolgiani. David represents shareholder Eni and brings deep expertise in energy transition and the oil and gas sector. His appointment strengthens Synhelion’s ties with the oil and gas industry.

Synhelion is pleased to announce the appointment of David Manlio Iosimi as a new member of its Board of Directors, effective immediately. David was formally appointed by shareholders at Synhelion’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) held at the beginning of May 2025.

He succeeds Francesco Bolgiani, Synhelion co-founder and board member since 2020, who has chosen not to stand for re-election at the AGM 2025 due to his age. We thank Francesco for his invaluable contribution to Synhelion’s journey from the very beginning.

David Manlio Iosimi is Investment Director at Eni Next, the corporate venture capital arm of Italian energy company Eni, which is also a shareholder of Synhelion. At Eni Next, David leads investments in high-tech startups focused on the energy transition. With a strong background in the oil and gas sector, he has spearheaded numerous M&A projects in the North Sea and previously worked as a reservoir modeler in North Africa.

A native of Italy, David holds a Master of Science in Petroleum Engineering from Politecnico di Torino and a Master’s degree in Geological Science from the University Roma Tre.

Eni’s representation on the Board marks an important step for Synhelion in strengthening its ties with the oil and gas industry – an essential ally in scaling solar fuel production globally.
