Searching for a multitasking manager with the most different experiences, while intrigued and not scared by my age? Look no further!
Grounded by Italian Air Force when no longer having a perfect eyesight capacity, I learnt piloting before leaving it for good. I then kept achieving the highest technical background and attention to quality and detail possible through all of my following experiences, especially when at Oerlikon Bührle (a military and civil industry), while I never loose the "big picture". I even learnt how to work a CNC machine and had a CAD/CAM task for a spell. Frankly I can learn everything and I'm willing to! 
Through the years I was employed by the most different business types, from +20,000-employee multinational groups through family small-businesses. I also developed successful businesses from scratch twice, mixing a unique sense of public opinion, product knowledge, market comprehension, out-of-the-box vision, courage and empathy along with quite a talent for granting a job well done. 
Furthermore, I well-handle highest level of responsibility, as proven when being a project-leader who managed big teams supplying turn-key factories to the automotive industry, while dealing even with Industry Ministers of the biggest countries and CEO of the main car makers.
I find enthralling making a difference in my work environment and life through challenges and achievements. Hence I'm not at all looking to retire any soon, or ever. I can ride a bike, read or write a book, watch a movie, walk my dog, go dining and do whatever else I like during weekends, when not catching-up at work, of course. 
And I was never a cost to any company. I was and still am instead a clear source of extra-profit and a pleasure to work with. I promise you!
Last but not least, on a more personal side I'm an accomplished family man, having a wife since late '80 and a daughter since mid '90.
Please, do not hesitate contacting me ASAP for more information. Indeed, I'm tempted to start my own 3rd business, and if I'll do... well, I won't be available for you! 

I support companies asking for general, sales and/or marketing management, and/or product development.

I was proof-reading "Mountain Bike Action" magazine tech stories and writing some of my own. I was also providing bike test to "Electric Bike Action" magazine. In the past, I helped Hi-Torque starting its then new "Road Bike Action" magazine.

Tech Editor

I was publishing the Italian edition of the American "Mountain Bike Action" magazine, always in a 128+4 page layout with many more components and bikes test.

Publisher & Editor

I started the first MTB components mail order in Italy, somewhat shaping local market.

Founder and CEO

I handled and developed sales, warranties and service in my area.

Account Manager in Italy

I created the team with the help of the main sponsors I found: GT, Shimano, Diadora, Continental, Time and Giro.
I enlisted former Time Trial World Champion, the Russian athlete Pavel (T)Cherka(s)sov.

Team Manager (MTB World Cup)

I handled and develop the brand in the country.

Sales Manager in Italy

I handled and developed Far East markets, while assisting President of Sales in every other areas and being often project leader.
It was my last stint working with FMS (Flexible Manufacturing System) and high-precision machine tools manufacturers. My clients were automotive industries and I dealt even with Ministers of Industry of some governments, Chinese for instance, given the importance of new car-plants projects.

Vice President of Sales

I developed and supported my market. The part of the company I worked with had a military (anti-aircraft artillery systems) and a civil (high precision milling machines) departments. Top technology, as you may guess.
