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.
