Commerciality: Multiple examples, with a most recent focus on crisis management and cost savings achieved during the COVID19 pandemic. Our current organisation has employees in 10 countries all badly affected by the Pandemia COVID19, but with different infection curves, different legal frameworks and different governments and measures. I was personally responsible to manage the crisis team to maximise legal tools with a double aim: 1) care and retain our talent; 2) obtain as many savings as possible from the legal mechanism, resulting in almost 2.5 million EUR of savings which has made the EBITDA of the company above the market and competitors.

Need to know: I am personally a very humble, honest and transparent person, with an extreme orientation to quality and continuous improvement at work and in life. Very keen to be close to the business, and am open to lead projects outside the HR/Human Capital arena. I bring a tremendous level of engagement (often feeling that the company is my own) and I enjoy tackling challenges, difficulties and resolving problems. I am definitely searching for stretch projects since I do not enjoy the comfort zone and am seeking personal and professional development and learning at all times. I am a loyal and ethical professional and person (trying to be a good role model to the work team and to my kids).
