I started my career after graduation in 1994 as a specialized technical engineer at Inver S.p.A., an Italian company leader in

the production of industrial paints, prior to joining Pulsar Italy in 2002, in the position of Technical Service and Software

Engineer.

After 2 years dedicated to the service, installation and commissioning of any kind of Pulsar equipment, in 2004 I was promoted

to Technical Service Manager.

In 2005, I entered the role of Executive Assistant Director of Technical Service until 2008 when he became Executive Director

of the General Operations of the Technical Service Department for the UK and North American market.

In 2013 I have been nominated VP of Pulsar America.

Graduated in Commercial Technique and Engineering

VP Pulsar America from August 2013
