Country Manager Italy @ MICHELIN Connected Fleet

About

A passionate and results-driven leader who develops strategic direction and delivers execution with excellence. I believe in people empowerment, autonomy, diversity, and trust as key success factors in delivering sustainable results. With over +14 years of experience in Fleet Management, Internet of Things (IoT), Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), and the transportation industry, I have held senior positions in global organizations across multiple continents, including South America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, in areas such as Business Development for International Expansion, Country General Manager, Sales, Operations, Marketing, Strategy, and Finance. Currently, I serve as the Country Manager at MICHELIN Connected Fleet, where I have full P&L responsibility and lead the strategic direction and execution of fleet management services for the B2B Italian market. I have driven global expansion and sustainable growth initiatives, achieving significant milestones, such as doubling revenue and the customer base over the last 4 years, while ensuring business break-even aligns with the plan. Currently working in a fast-growing, entrepreneurial business expansion venture, driving businesses from launch to scale-up and consolidation. I am always seeking to deliver high-quality work that drives sustainable, profitable, and scalable business growth. Having lived on four different continents, including France, Italy, Brazil, the United States, and Indonesia, I bring a holistic view, a global perspective, and a growth mindset to tackle opportunities and solve problems. I'm always looking to grow my personal and professional network.
