About Speaker
Sicilian by birth, after some globetrotting I ended up establishing my base in Rome. 3 daughters and, since one and a half year, the happy grandpa of a charming 50/50 italian/dutch little boy.
Since a very early stage I’ve been moved by a pure drive for sustainability. After 20 years into a multinational covering the role of local buyer and eurobuyer, I managed to be part, in the same multinational food company, of their sustainable sourcing team, where I’ve been engaged for 4 years into the conversion of several vegetables raw materials into sustainably sourced.
When Control Union, one of the most accredited Certification Bodies in sustainability programs, presented the opportunity, I could not refuse. Since 2014 I took the challenge of developing the Italian certifications and inspections business as Managing Director. In my company I am bringing passion for people development and my drive on taking a sustainable approach in all our personal and business choices.
