My career has led me to concentrate on Marketing and Sales: this background has allowed me to have the know-how to work in strategic marketing. What do I do? I develop a company's strategic marketing plan.I enjoy working with people from within Italy and from other countries. I especially appreciate the opportunity to interact, learn from and better understand people from other cultures. This has, in turn, helped me improve my language skills, particularly in English and French.I am used to operating within the tight rules imposed by ambitious budgets. I am an efficient, hard-working and effective manager. My cosmopolitan background and interests, particularly in other cultures and languages has contributed to an open-minded approach to working with others. I consider loyalty and respect to be the foundations of any relationship, be it personal or business.I believe in a team approach as a leader, emphasizing staff input into both decision making and target setting. On a personal note, I have played volleyball for twenty-four years in total and professionally from 1990 to 1998. This experience has not only reinforced my view about the strength of teamwork, but also the importance of the individual within a team environment. While individuals can contribute to the success of an organization, a team of individuals working collectively toward a common goal will bring far more success.
