Worldwide Marketing and Communication Director at MISSONI S.p.A.
Milan Area, Italy
I am currently employed as a Worldwide Marketing and Communication Director at Missoni S.p.A.
Working in this company has offered me the chance to capitalize on my experience acquired over the years in creative agencies and marketing-strategic consulting firms. There I learned that only a clear goal-oriented approach and a proper process management are the keys to achieve success through business and creative strategies in themselves valid.
Strategic approach, notable creativity, process management, marketing-communication and budgeting skills, management of resources as well as of complex and critical situations allowed me to achieve remarkable results: brand repositioning, changes in the brand image perception, customer base enlargement, (quality and quantity-oriented) business goals, database building, strengthening of existing relations with current customers, value-added strategic partnerships, promotion of a new marketing and integrated communication culture.
Excellent leadership in team and client management. Superior capacity in written/verbal communication, presentation and persuasion. Enterprising spirit. I build lasting relations able to produce business. Inclined to understand the human psychology
