Summary

I graduated in 2007 with Magna cum Laude and I started to work immedietaly in HP as Technology Consultant in the business unit Consulting & Integration. All my experience was focused on one client: one of the biggest bank in Italy, based in Turin, for his secondary office in Milan. After 18 months I decided to try a new experience in one of the newest bank in Italy: CheBanca! (part of the group MedioBanca) as Technical Analyst. At the end of 2010 I made a radical change in my life and joined Charler River Development in London as a Technical Implementation Consultant and then as a Technical Implementation Manager. At the end of 2012 I've joined Guidewire as a Implementation Architect for their clients in the EMEA region.
