Per più di 20 anni ho rivestito il ruolo di direttore tecnico in diverse aziende manifatturiere
Nella mia ultima esperienza aziendale ho guidato diversi team che hanno sviluppato in modalità agile più di 50 prodotti industriali dotati di software di automazione.
Ho diretto la transizione verso questo nuovo approccio con la costituzione di una “Mini-Fabbrica Agile” all’interno della quale operavano oltre 190 persone.
Oggi affianco le aziende nello sviluppo agile dei nuovi prodotti e nella necessaria trasformazione organizzativa

Su di me…
Ogni mattina pratico mindfulness.
Amo camminare nella natura e intraprendere viaggi itineranti senza un percorso definito.
Sono un appassionato di cinema e un vorace lettore di saggi.
