About

Supply Chain Manager with over 15 years of international experience across Italy and China. Strong background in procurement, logistics and ERP/MRP/MPS implementation, with a proven track record of leading multicultural teams in complex and fast-changing environments. Fluent in Italian, English and Chinese, I have successfully supported digital transformation and process optimization projects, achieving significant cost reductions and lead time improvements. My managerial path has given me an end-to-end vision of business dynamics: I can anticipate downstream needs and clearly define upstream requirements, ensuring continuity, efficiency and tangible results. I strongly believe in teamwork: my leadership style is based on close collaboration with my teams, the creation of cross-functional synergies and the development of constructive relationships with external stakeholders.
