Work History
independent consultant
ONEIROS Italia
01.2001 - Current
- Since 2001 I work as independent consultant. In this long timeframe I supported several customers in the largest variety of size and business. Maintaining a strong link with the garment industry I act as Operation Manager for several clients, organizing and controlling their production and quality assurance process, mainly for Far East productions. My job is not limited in consultancy for the garment industry but also support to corporate organization and strategic thinking for marketing and sales. I've been part of the launch of several new products, not only in textiles and garments. I also held trainings for team building and problem solving, as well supporting clients in company's re-organization to gain efficiency and cost effectiveness through return on investments analysis and optimization of resources.
Factory Operation Manager
GIVI
01.2014 - 01.2023
- Company Overview: worldwide leader for motorcycle hard topcases
- The GIVI Vietnam factory counts about 400 employees and produces about 150.000 motorcycle results and 100.000 motorcycling bags per year for the international market. I've been called because the factory was losing about 300.000 USD/year. After one year of presence and intense work in Vietnam, in 2015 I made possible to reach break-even and positive, increasing, result in the years after. I also re-organized the QA structure of the company lowering the defect ratio down to less than 1,5%, applying also very restrictive procedures for incoming materials and reduced purchase cost significantly. In four years, I completely re-organized the workflow and the production line's structure and management responsibility in order to have efficiency and responsibility clearly assigned to everyone and a process of constant improvement actively monitored.
CEO
MOTOinfinito
01.2008 - 01.2016
- Company profile: Motorcycling high end apparel and accessories
- I developed and started a complete line of motorcycling apparel, from the conception of the brand to the complete line of products (MOTOINfinito). With a small group of people, I founded a Company to manage this business. The brand, oriented to a niche market, gained a very good reputation for innovation and practical fitness for use, with significant sales for the related market until 2016. The brand MOTOINfinito is still owned by myself, even if, due to my long-term commitments abroad, it is not present on the market anymore.
