European CEO of the Year Awards 2025

Jul22493 33. Electe, an AI-driven data analytics platform specialising in the delivery of advanced business intelligence to SMEs, is all about one thing – ensuring data does not go unused. Through this platform, businesses of all shapes and sizes are able to reach that next level and make informed, data-backed decisions, with all of the barriers that were previously standing in their way of accessing AI solutions broken down as a result of CEO Fabio Lauria and his team. Recognised for his innovation in data analytics, we caught up with Fabio for more on his journey in this space. Combining Industry 4.0 technologies with AI and machine learning, Electe sees strategic management solutions that were previously only available to large organisations made accessible to all. The platform serves clients across the likes of the retail, manufacturing, facilities management, and financial services sectors, striking a balance between next-generation features and privacy by design to ensure that the needs of every business are accounted for – not only in the present, but also in an unknown future. Electe’s services can be split into four key areas: Advanced AI Prediction Methods, such as a growth accelerator, smooth forecaster, and a smart predictor; Comprehensive Financial Analysis, including revenue stream, cost tracking, and debt monitoring; AIpowered Document Analysis, like automatic information extraction, key points summary, and keyword analysis; and Intelligent Report Generation, where professional reports across areas like brand communication and customer insights are generated in seconds. Behind all of these offerings is a set of core values, comprising accessibility, innovation, client success, excellence, and transparency. These also fuel the company’s overarching vision, described to us as “a world where data is no longer a privilege but a tool accessible to everyone”. In the approximately two-and-a-half years since it was founded, Electe has already made measurable steps towards achieving this, seen most recently through it rolling out Electe Version 3, the most advanced, beneficial iteration to date. “We’ve already demonstrated significant impact with a 278% increase in platform engagement, 50% revenue growth, and an 87% reduction in data processing times for our clients.” Fabio Lauria, the company’s founder and CEO, is the man behind much of Electe’s innovation, and his path has been one of continuous learning, practical problem solving, and strategic growth across the technology and business management arenas. This was certainly the case during his decade at Lauria Impianti, beginning in 2012. Joining what was then a small company and immediately leading strategic initiatives, Fabio wore multiple hats due to the company’s size, taking on responsibilities in IT, HR, and finance. Seven years later, Fabio had proven himself so robust and effective that he was made the company’s CEO, where he grew revenue by more than 38% and pre-tax profits by 85% in just two years. Little did Fabio know that his journey as CEO was just beginning, and, seeking a new challenge, he founded Electe and immediately inserted him into the chief executive role – aware that his previous experience in growing a now established company through a practical approach would once again come in useful. With Fabio at the helm, Electe has proven itself to be a values-led company capable of delivering results. It achieves this by blending simplicity with just the right amount of sophistication, ensuring strong relationships are built and that clients can access a proven framework for successful execution. Once again, the aforementioned Electe Version 3 reflects this, signifying a huge leap in the platform’s capabilities and highlighting Electe as the most advanced yet accessible AI analytics platform for SMEs. On the back of this, Electe has proven itself capable of consistently adding value in a world where AI is constantly changing. Despite becoming increasingly accessible, there remains a huge gap between what is available and what SMEs can actually implement. In this way, these businesses remain underserved, and it is for this reason that the platform is reimagining what it means to democratise AI, doing something fundamentally different. Plans for the future include the introduction of autonomous AI agents, set for release later this year, and a complete undertaking of Electe’s digital presence. Fabio remains as dedicated as ever as he spearheads these initiatives, which continue to represent a journey of technological innovation and an unwavering commitment to empowering SMEs. The company’s active membership to key industry organisations, focus on the environment, and dedication to security are then an added touch for clients in search of the best. For his work moulding Electe into the success story it is today, Fabio Lauria is a fitting recipient of the award for the Most Innovative Data Analytics CEO 2025.
