About

With over 10 years of experience as a Technical Solutions Architect at Cisco, I have a passion for designing and delivering innovative and scalable data center solutions that meet the needs and challenges of diverse customers and markets. I have a strong background in software-defined networking, computing, and storage area network (SAN), as well as a Nutanix Certified Associate 6 credential that demonstrates my proficiency in hyperconverged infrastructure. I am driven by the mission of empowering organizations to transform their IT operations, optimize their performance, and enhance their security and resilience. As a Technical Solutions Architect, I provide pre-sales support for data center and virtualization solutions to various vertical markets, including finance, oil and gas, automotive, commercial, and public sectors in North Italy. I work closely with the sales team, partners, and customers to understand their requirements, propose tailored solutions, and conduct technical presentations and demonstrations. I also leverage my expertise and skills to develop and mentor Cisco partners on data center technologies, and to collaborate with other architects and engineers across the region and globally.
