Bellinzago Lombardo, Lombardy, Italy
For over 20 years, I have designed, built, and led complex technical systems in environments where engineering, reliability, and performance converge: broadcast, live media, industrial electronics, robotics, and automation. My career started from the foundations of electronics and systems engineering, evolving into senior technical leadership and large-scale program management roles. At Sky Italia, I drove the broadcast technology transformation — from pioneering Italy's first 4K HDR live channel to migrating to IP-based media networks (SMPTE ST 2110) — coordinating cross-functional engineering teams and managing multi-million euro budgets under non-negotiable deadlines. In parallel, as Sports Director and FIR-certified Rugby Coach, I have developed strong leadership capabilities in people management, strategic planning, and performance culture — all directly transferable to leading technical teams and operations departments. I am now seeking roles in companies that are in a phase of growth, development, or transformation — environments where there is room to build, innovate, study, and learn every day — for positions such as: Engineering Director / Technical Director Technical Operations Director Head of R&D What I bring to the table: Electronics & Broadcast Engineering: design of complex systems, technical infrastructure integration, standards, technology migrations, live operations. Robotics & Industrial Automation: expertise and hands-on interest in automation, integrated systems, and technical solutions applied to production and process control. Program & Project Management: end-to-end management of multi-stakeholder projects, Agile/SAFe and ITIL methodologies, consistent on-time and on-budget delivery. Leadership & Team Building: ability to build, lead, and grow technical teams, acting as a bridge between executive leadership, engineering, suppliers, and day-to-day operations. Customer-Centric Mindset: focus on end-user value, service reliability, and experience quality. Ideal contexts for me: Tech, media, manufacturing, or service companies in growth phase, investing in R&D and innovation Organizations where technical complexity requires a senior leader who can coordinate engineering, operations, and client relationships Environments where continuous learning, upskilling, and technological curiosity are part of the company culture Based in (Milan area). Available for on-site, hybrid, or remote roles. Open to connecting with headhunters, recruiters, and hiring managers in the tech, manufacturing, automation and Robotics sectors.
