I smile every day, I like it. Smiling is infectious and makes my life more beautiful. My days start full of energy. And keep smiling keeps my team happier. This is me. I am passionate about food and people: coming from a small town in Puglia (South of Italy), where food and conviviality are part of people’s DNA, it is joyful building relationship and doing business with friends organizing happy hours, cooking regional recipes and inviting musicians to dance and to sing regional song. Same passion and entrepreneurial spirit while working more than 17 years at Bolton Group. I am an executive manager at Bolton, merging Sales, Marketing and Finance skills developed across different roles in the organization, from brand management to account management, in Italy and abroad. My aim is to be involved in new projects, challenging ones: lunching new products and managing local customers in Italy. Or, as I did In the last decades, being responsible for international development of Bolton brands abroad, from Europe, to Africa and China; via partnership with local distributors (UK, Hungary, Malta, Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Russia) or via Bolton branches (Bolton Czechia, Bolton Nederland and Bolton Belgium). Doing all those experiences always for the same smile looking at the retailers’ shelves with our new Brands or products. The recipe to accomplish that is made by smart and agile thinking, proactiveness and by strong-will, tenacity to get things done. And, with the best ingredients, people. I strongly believe on people and on their own behaviors rather than skills: I love coaching people and let them grow. I am father of two children and a lucky husband of a gorgeous wife, who supported always my carrier. We know live in Brussels, where I am a smiling Country Manager, leading strong teams and more than 30 employees passionate about their brands: Rio Mare, Saupiquet, Carolin, Durbo, WC Net, Omino Bianco, D’Or, Merito, Borotalco, Chilly, Rogè Cavailles, and Somatoline.
