Non chi comincia, ma quel che persevera.
Proud member of the founding team. CheBanca! was established in May 2008 as the start-up iniziative in the retail italian banking market of Mediobanca. The holding launched this project with the objective to build an innovative retail bank, starting from the asset of the controlled company Micos Banca SPA. The Director of of Branch Network reports to the CSO, and is responsible: - during the start-up phase for the set up of the branch network (permanent+mobile); - after the start-up phase for the management of the same network and the achievement of the branches' sales budget.
Intesa Sanpaolo is the leading banking group in Italy with about 11 million customers and around 4,000 branches and one of the top players in Europe. It was formed in January 2007 by the merger of Sanpaolo IMI and Banca Intesa. Both banks were already key players in the Italian market and had contributed to the consolidation process of the Italian banking industry. Banca Intesa was the result of a series of integrations successfully completed. Sanpaolo IMI came out by the merger between Istituto Bancario San Paolo di Torino and Istituto Mobiliare Italiano which took place in 1998, and the subsequent integrations of Banco di Napoli in 2000 and Gruppo Cardine in 2002. I started my career in Sanpaolo as a bank teller, then I've been a relationship manager, branch manager, regional specialist for retail banking, regional director, working in different areas of the country. I took actively part to the turnarounds of the pre-existing branch networks of Banco di Napoli and Banca Popolare dell'Adriatico.
