Summary
I started out in advanced research and made my professional debut as project manager developing new products for the automotive industry. I moved then into sales and marketing followed by purchasing where I held various positions, operational and functional, leading task forces and restructuring activity, including 4 years on the fast track as Ferrari Spa’s Purchasing and Supplier Development Director.

My main focus is Automotive business with a strong international experience, having worked in the UK, Canada, US, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, China, Japan and Malaysia.
