Global Marketing & Communication Director at LIUJO
Modena Area, Italien

Zusammenfassung

Passionate, tenacious, motivated, curious and result oriented. These features, combined with a strong attitude to build and manage the team, synthesize my personal profile.
I have +15 years of experience in Italian companies both managerial and entrepreneurial in different business sectors ( tlc/mobile and Fashionable clothing) with results largely visible and measurable.
I have a career in marketing/communication vertically developed both on national and international markets.
I think as a manager but I work as an entrepreneur. I love the company where I work and struggle to make it stand out on the market.
In my career I have worked with managers and entrepreneurs from which I drew inspiration, the rest I’m trying to learn every day putting myself into play until the end asking to my team to do the same.
