Stéphane Valeri (born 1 March 1962) is a Monegasque politician and businessman. He served as the president of the National Council, which is the most powerful elected position in Monaco,[1] between 22 February 2018 and 23 October 2022.[2] He is the former Minister for Social Affairs and Health in Monaco.[3][4] He served three terms as a National Councillor, and then as its president, but resigned halfway through the second term so that he could serve as a Government Minister.[5][6]
Early life and education
[edit]While growing up Valeri attended two high schools (Lycée Albert Prime, and Lycée Masséna), as well as the European School of Management in East Berlin.[4]
Career
[edit]Valeri previously served as executive assistant for SBM's Sales-Marketing department, but transferred a year late to the Advertising-Promotions department.[4]
Following his departure from SBM, Valeri founded Monaco-based communications group PROMOCOM.[4] After twenty-one years as Deputy Chairman (1988–2009), Valeri resigned from his position and entered public service.[4] Outside of politics, Valeri serves on the board of directors for the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation.[4]
In 1999, Prince Rainier III awarded him with the Order of Saint-Charles.[7] In 2012, Valeri was appointed to the French Legion of Honour.[7] On 25 January 2013 Valeri's French country home in Peille was damaged by an arsonist.[7][8] Valeri filed an official complaint the following day.[7]
After winning the 2018 general election, Valeri once again became president of the National Council.[9] He did not stand in the 2023 general election and was succeeded as president by Brigitte Boccone-Pagès.[10]
