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.
