IT Corporate Demand Manager - Manufacturing Area & IT Plant Manager, Alfasigma S.p.A.

I am an IT Manager with experience in the following industries: Pharma, Government, Banking and TelCo. I have a strong propensity for technological innovation, and its use inside companies to proactively contribute to processes improvement along the entire value chain.

Something about me from the professional point of view.
- Passionate of technology - My first pc, TI99/4A, when I was 11
- A strong advocate of adopting detailed work plans as enabler to get any goal
- Equipped with practical sense
- Being able to listen and valorize my team contribution

My history.
I graduated in Mathematics at the University of Rome, Tor Vergata. After a collaboration with the university, I worked in Mediamed Interactive, developing digital training solutions for the sales force of Pharma industry. After this experience, I joined Accenture and Avanade where I was involved in big projects/programs for the largest national and multinational companies.

After the consulting experience, I moved to Biomedica Foscama Group where, for more than five years, I was the head of IT department. Then, I moved to Alfasigma to lead IT activities for the Manufacturing area. Currently I’m in charge of IT development for the Manufacturing area covering all Alfasigma plants, with a particular focus on Industry 4.0. I’m also the CTO for the Pescara plant.

The Future of Driving Maintenance Excellence & Empowering Pharmaceutical Success Through the Integration of AI

Panel Discussion

Monday, September 22

06:10 pm - 06:55 pm

Live in Berlin

Less Details

In this forward-looking panel, industry experts will explore how AI — including the emergence of agentic AI — is transforming maintenance practices across the pharmaceutical industry. As companies strive to achieve operational excellence at scale, AI is no longer limited to data analysis; it is evolving into an active participant in decision-making, orchestration, and continuous optimization. This discussion will examine how AI-driven systems, from predictive models to autonomous agents, are reshaping maintenance strategies — from asset lifecycle management to intelligent resource planning and adaptive operational support. Panelists will share practical insights into implementation, key learnings, and how they’re embracing the next evolution of AI to strengthen performance, compliance, and resilience across global sites. Learn more about:

  • How AI-powered tools — including emerging agentic systems — are enabling proactive and adaptive maintenance practices that reduce downtime and increase asset value.
  • Integrating AI into asset lifecycle management to automate decision support, optimize replacement strategies, and dynamically adapt to site-specific performance patterns.
  • Enhancing resource planning through AI agents that autonomously coordinate maintenance schedules, allocate resources in real time, and align capabilities with shifting operational needs.
  • Creating consistent operational support through AI-driven insights and decision agents that help maintain compliance, uphold quality standards, and enable rapid, localized action across decentralized sites.
