He held the position of a member of the General Council of Confindustria, was a member of the Board of Directors and the General Council of the Confindustria Digital Federation, and a member of the General Council of Anitec-Assinform.
Benasso was a member of the Board of Directors of the American Chamber of Commerce in Italy and served as Vice President from 2018 to 2021.

Benasso’s contributions to these groups have been centered around simplification, sustainability, and digital transformation—themes that are crucial to the rapidly evolving technological landscape.
“In TAS, I see an environment where I can act in this direction, and I am happy to contribute to the development of projects in a critical and ever-evolving sector like payments, bringing growth and innovation to both the company and the country,” Benasso said.
