V eronica Squinzi, along with her brother Marco Squinzi, are the co-CEOs and principal owners of the Italian chemical giant, Mapei. The company is a global leader in the production of adhesives, sealants, and other chemical products for the construction industry. Mapei was founded by their grandfather, Rodolfo Squinzi, in 1937 and was transformed into a global powerhouse by their late father, Giorgio Squinzi, who was also a prominent figure in Italian industry and the former owner of the Sassuolo football club.

After their father's death in 2019, Veronica and her brother took joint control of the privately held family business, continuing a tradition of family leadership. Veronica had been deeply involved in the company for many years, leading its global development and corporate strategy. As co-CEO, she is responsible for guiding the massive international enterprise, which has dozens of production plants and serves customers in countries all over the world. Her family's ownership of this highly successful industrial company is the source of her billion-dollar fortune.
