(Please visit the English version of my LinkedIn profile) My career began with a Mechanical Engineering degree, followed by roles as Project Engineer at GM Powertrain and later in Opel’s Chassis department, focusing on brake systems. After Opel’s acquisition by PSA, I expanded my responsibilities as Brake Rotors Capacity Planner and Brake Project Engineer. I then spent three years as Safety Engineer for EPB and ESC systems. Since November 2022, I have been Vehicle Homologation Manager for LCV, handling compliance and regulatory matters. After completing an Executive MBA in Finance in October 2025, I moved into Finance within Manufacturing Engineering Controlling & Economic Performance, working on controlling, budgeting, forecasting, and Capex management to support strategic decisions. Curious and dedicated to continuous learning, I excel in dynamic contexts where I can drive efficiency and measurable outcomes.
• Financial controlling and monthly performance analysis for Corporate Manufacturing Engineering (Europe) • Budgeting, forecasting, and cost control; identification of optimization opportunities and critical issues • Capex management, variance analysis, and investment forecasting • Reporting and ad hoc financial analysis • Support to management in achieving KPIs and strategic planning • Implementation of global controlling models and process optimization initiatives
"Lead Platform and Program Engineer Regulation & Certification"´s main responsibilities: • Managing projects for the type approval of vehicle lines; • Coordinating homologation activities comprehensively; • Analyzing emerging regional and global legal requirements and their implications on vehicle projects; • Generating and overseeing homologation work orders to guide type testing activities; • Providing status reports on development stages for chief engineers and project management.
Main tasks and responsibilities: - Follow up the safety studies carried out by EPS and EPB component suppliers - Ensure that suppliers take into account the requirements of the ISO 26262 standard - Perform security concepts reviews (functional and technical safety concept) - Perform FMEA, FTA review - Perform validation plan with injection faults reviews - Negotiate safety requirements (internal OV/PSA) - Realize meetings minutes, synthesis, and reporting of all these activities - Update the safety case with suppliers deliverables for EPS and EPB components - Ensure the realization and the follow up of diagnosticability studies on EPB components
- Ho concepito e organizzato eventi di scienza e musica per promuovere la cultura e la scienza nella mia città natale, Locorotondo, e nelle città vicine. Il progetto, chiamato La Valle della Scienza, trae ispirazione dalla Valle d'Itria, con l'obiettivo di estendere la sua portata alle città e ai paesi circostanti. - Ho coordinato relatori di spicco e gruppi musicali per creare serate educative e divertenti. - Ho coinvolto le comunità locali, le amministrazioni comunali, le università e mi sono associato con organizzazioni culturali per garantire il successo e l'impatto degli eventi.
Italia Altrove Francoforte e.V. is a cultural, no profit Association for italians abroad.
Hardware release responsibility as a member of the Chassis engineering team. In this role, my responsibility was to release technical specifications of Brake components (brake shields, rotors, calipers and pads), covering development process from pre-execution to post-production. My main task was to ensure that a design would have meet these functional requirements on component and system level. Additional roles and responsibilities included: - planning, coordinating and following up of component and subsystem design (with the support of different methodologies, such as the DFMEA – achieved “Green Belt” at GM) virtual validation priorities, development priorities, validation and release according to Product Program and Master Timing; - definition of components based on function, cost, manufacturing and specification requirements; - assessment of supplier offers regarding technical content, timing and project requirements; - assessment and consolidation of development results; - technical release of components; - continuous product improvement and cost reduction planning and coordination; - evaluation of requested design changes, following and using tools and procedures.
Main tasks: - manage rotor capacity - plan proper distribution on machining and coating lines - plan make or buy strategy - cooperate with production plants and process team
