Marco Lavagna is a Retired. He is proficient in French and English. Colleagues describe him as "I had the chance to watch Marco deploying his talent and experience on a difficult task. Since I knew him, already, it was no surprise to see him quickly moving from a well taken big picture to an effective and detailed action plan, timely and effectively reduced to practice. He is a brilliant engineer and manager, resilient, motivated and supported by an uncompromised downrightness." and "It is with great honor and respect that I recommend Marco's work as SW Engineering Director in the Broadband Access Group. Without his relentless efforts and enlightened guidance to his teams - through the time and technical difficulties challenges we faced, we wouldn't have been able to become the #2 Broadband Access Platform in Europe in 2003. His pro-business mindset made him an ideal partner for the product strategies I was pursuing and his fearlessness to embrace new technologies while keeping a balanced and Cartesian mind is a tremendous asset for any group who is considering launching new products or addressing new customers. You would find a "go-getter" rather than a skeptical engineering head, as too often company are plagued with."
