Andrea Favretto

Safety is Andrea's middle name. At Prove, we're convinced he reads a chapter of API 521 before going to bed and spends his weekends performing Layer of Protection Analyses. That is when he's not out on his race bike (wearing a safety helmet, of course). With more than 15 years of experience as a process engineer, Andrea has worked on everything from pilot plants in the chemical industry to large CapEx projects in the Oil & Gas sector. As if that wasn't enough, he is also a TÜV Rheinland Certified Functional Safety Engineer, because apparently process safety wasn't quite enough.
