Stéphane Valeri (born March 1, 1962) is a Monegasque politician and businessman, who is currently the Minister for Social Affairs and Health in Monaco. He served three terms as a National Councillor, and then as President of the National Council, which is the most powerfully elected position in Monaco, but resigned halfway through the second term so that he could serve as a Government Minister.
While growing up Valeri attended two high schools (Lycée Albert Prime, and Lycée Masséna), as well as the European School of Management in Berlin. Valeri previously served as executive assistant for SBM's Sales-Marketing department, but transferred a year late to the Advertising-Promotions department. Following his departure from SBM, Valeri founded Monaco-based communications group PROMOCOM. After twenty-one years as Deputy Chairman (1988-2009), Valeri resigned from his position and entered public service. Out side of politics, Valeri serves on the board of directors for the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation.
In 1999, Prince Rainier III awarded him with the Order of Saint-Charles. In 2012, Valeri was appointed to the French Legion of Honour. On January 25, 2013, Valeri's French country home in Peille was damaged by arsonist. Valeri filed an official complaint the following day.
