A few words
ABOUT MEIt is always a challenge to make yourself stand out just by writing a few lines on a cover letter. That is why I’ve decided to make this journal. I’ve created an illustrative representation to show how and why I find myself here today, what makes me get up in the morning, and what I want my future to look like.
I started working in action sports because that was my passion. I went on to focus on developing my core skills as a manager and filled my curriculum with experiences in sales and marketing, sports, healthcare and non-profits.
Today I am passionate about a pursuing career that directly correlates with my passion for an active and healthy lifestyle, and with my entrepreneurial spirit.
On 14.09.1980, I was born in Rome, close to the mountains & the sea.
I grew up traveling and meeting amazing people around the world.
Today, I’m living a great life full of new challenges and adventures.
GETTING A DEGREE IN BUSINESSWhile studying to receive my B.A. in Business Studies at the University of the
West of England in Bristol, UK, I worked to understand the basics of financial accounting, marketing communications & strategic management.
I also experienced real-world business opportunities, including spending a year working abroad in Madrid, Spain.

MY EDUCATION
WHAT I DO
SNOWBOARDING SURFINGSince 1994 Breathing the Lifestyle
Snowboarding is much more than just a sport to me. It’s a way of life.
When I ride, everything else in the world disappears and I’m able to completely express myself without a word.
My goal is to snowboard all my life.
It’s all about progressing as a surfer and exploring new places.
Surfing Morocco, the United States, Costa Rica, Brazil, Maldives, Mexico, the West & East Coast, and countless van trips on the coast of Europe are all life experiences I will never forget!
WHAT I DO WITH PASSION.
SAILING PHOTOGRAPHYMy Digital Detox Capturing a Fleeting Moment
I am a licensed skipper and I love taking friends and family out to sea.
Whether it’s only for a couple days, or for a few weeks, being out at sea is the only way to truly disconnect from our busy daily lives.
I take lots of photos because otherwise you forget 99% of what you see.
I started developing black & white photog-raphy in a lab. I furthered my passion with my diploma and still continue exploring new horizons.
KATIN Europe2003 — 2005
KATIN Surf Trunks was our CORE brand. We designed, produced and distributed the entire line of Katin products in Europe. As the company grew, we began to include planning and buying for several other companies including products by Planet Earth, sandals by Flojos, and footwear by ADIO. I played a large role in managing trade shows, such as being responsible for the marketing communications of all brands at ASR Europe 2004 in Anglet. I also assisted heavily in customer service by striving to create the most positive customer experiences possible.
My responsibilities ranged from running our warehouse and coordinating shipments for Europe, to managing our inventory, orders and sales. I also assisted in planning our merchandising strategies.
My experience at KATIN Europe was exciting, but I had the ambition to continue learning from more diverse and established corporations.
SPORTS MARKETINGASSOCIATE
Work Experience
MSD2005 — 2010
The shift to healthcare was driven by one major aspect: gaining corporate international experi-ence from a truly global organisation. As a Junior Product Manager in consumer products, I took the lead in market research activities, advertising and promotional initiatives.
In 2007, I spent one year in the US Headquarters on their Global Marketing Team where I focused on initiating sponsorships with FIFA Football for Hope.
I returned to Italy as a Country Brand Manager where I oversaw the marketing operations for the launch of a €60M brand. The complexity of launching a brand in the health care industry meant coordinating a very diverse team of people ranging from creatives to legal experts.
Managing people has always been a key driver for me, although the true challenge comes when leading virtual teams with no direct report but with a common goal to succeed! The result of our launch activities were ultimately a success for us all when the Italian press nominated our brand campaign as outstanding and powerful.
During the MSD/Schering-Plough merge, I supported the Executive Team in managing the tran-sition of new brands into our portfolio.
COUNTRY BRANDMANAGER
Work Experience
Pfizer 2010 — Present
As Pfizer created its Regional Headquarters in Paris, I was approached and accepted to be a part of their Marketing team. With 16 European country commercial leads reporting into our Regional structure, my role is to shape all creative and marketing elements for the brand, as well as define a comprehensive European strategy & vision.
A recent organisational shift radically changed the structure of our operating model. As a mem-ber of the change management work stream, my goal was to identify growth opportunities and guide investment decision-making for leaders in the organisation.
Most recently, I have been leading a sales effectiveness project that aims at redistributing sales and marketing efforts across the region, as well as planning training for our field force.
Having worked for a number of different brands, I understand the real value of targeting. With an ever-changing economic situation and the evolution of technology, it appears clear to me that focusing efforts only on one core consumer is not enough to succeed anymore. Today there are other “must-win” categories outside of the core market that have become critical to secure growth. As the population grows older, 2⁄3 of the world’s population is still estimated to be under 18 by 2015. This means that the critical success factor is not merely the way we communicate our messages but more importantly the channels we use.

Work Experience
SUCCESS STORIESSPONSORSHIPPrioritising event sponsorships resulted in greater communication efforts per single event and a 28% higher audience engagement towards our brands.
DIGITAL CAMPAIGNEffectiveness is measured by the number of people you reach vs. the investment made. Introducing a new web platform increased our client base by 35% reducing the cost x contact by 28%.
PARTNERSHIPIdeation & initiation of a partnership with a med-ical devices company resulted in a 230% value growth for our product over an 18 month period.
SALES EFFECTIVENESSMerging sales forces during organisational changes drives disputation. Associating a Change Champion network to support the redistribution of human capital has proven a successful way to increase ownership in Italy, Belgium & Spain.
Work Experience
I come with a
FRESH EYEIn business, the only thing constant is change. Since the recession, companies all over the world have had to rebuild the engines that originally brought them success. Even those most passionate in their purpose have benefited from the help of outside experts, those who move across industries to bring in fresh approaches to new working environments.
In the last decade, I have managed several different brands in a variety of industries, and have seen firsthand the many types of challenges a company must face on a regional and national level.
I have found it is always essential to know your market, target the right products to the right audience, and to quickly make the best possible decisions. My variety of experience and ability to think outside the box will help breathe new life into your company.
