• AD Associati provides management control services, personal property protection, corporate strategies, accounting and statements, protection and trademark registration. As a Business Development Manager my role is to support the company teams to ensure that their projects are planned and managed effectively and assist in successful delivery. I’ve worked with members of the team to investigate the causes of any variance from target/plan and business development activities, proactively contributing to the implementation of solutions and creating efficient marketing plans for the company. • Achievements: I developed effective corporate strategies while understanding the important needs for our client, Alival, in worldwide distribution of Italian cheese products. With over €160 million revenues and 10 plants in Italy and abroad, Alival is one of the leaders in the cheese industry. I worked closely with management at both companies to improve the distribution strategies, creating value and managing risk abroad. The British Charterhouse Fund acquired Alival through its subsidiary “Nuova Castelli” and I personally worked with its CEO Luigi Fici in a deal to create the Italian cheese giant.

• As Business development manager and cofounder, I launched an import / export automotive trading company based in Dubai. I was involved in project sales and business development management. The core business is the automotive trading between Russia and UAE. The company imports cars from Moscow and Saint Petersburg to Dubai and Abu Dhabi, creating value and significant margins due to decreasing oil prices and the subsequent devaluation of the Russian Ruble. I’ve focused on risk mitigation through hands-on involvement in the business through logistics and procurement in Russia. I worked on marketing and promotion of the company in UAE and throughout the Gulf countries.• Achievements: reached the 35% of net profit per car sale with Range Rover and Evoque car models, mainly with B2C sales. The startup has immediately covered the costs and has created profit without any delay and a smooth logistic process, the main financial aspect is the low import duty (5%) in UAE. I have created and maintained business partnerships with companies such as Opal Shipping Dubai as well as the final customers.
