Born in 1977, married, and father of twins.Coming from a family of factory workers, I started working at 18 as a farm laborer, later transitioning to the metalworking industry while holding a part-time job as a waiter. Determined to grow, I pursued further education while working full-time, earning a diploma in mechanical engineering. I then completed a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, followed by a Master’s in Economics and International Law. My drive for continuous learning led me to further specialization, completing two executive programs: a Master’s in Sales & Marketing at Bologna Business School and a Design Thinking program at MIT in Boston. Along the way, I obtained key certifications, including Innovation Manager (RINA), an Executive Certificate in Strategy & Innovation (MIT), and a C1 Advanced English certification. In 2020, I qualified as a contract professor in Statistical Analysis at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, though I have never formally taken on the role. Throughout my career, I have held increasingly strategic and operational leadership positions, managing cross-functional, multidisciplinary, and multicultural teams, with a strong commercial focus in the industrial sector. I have led projects in various capacities, including Country Manager, Trade Marketing Director, Sales & Business Unit Director, Vice President & Chief Sales & Marketing in multinational companies. I have also been actively involved in M&A projects. Currently, as Chief Corporate Officer, I oversee key strategic areas: • Chief Information Officer (CIO) • Chief People & Organization Officer • Chief Operational Excellence Officer My mission is to drive the company’s dimensional and cultural growth through an industrial plan focused on three key areas: advancing technology to enhance production capacity, fostering a strong organizational culture through coaching and training, and establishing a clear, resilient, and integrated structure between subsidiaries and headquarters to ensure governance and continuity. My international experience has shaped a pragmatic and innovative approach, earning recognition for internationally valued business models, including two mentions from MIT in Boston.
