Returning to Veronafiere means reconnecting with an extraordinary ecosystem, which marked a fundamental stage of my professional journey. I assume this task with great responsibility and with the clear will to set up the skills gained in heterogeneous contexts, today crucial for the evolution of the trade fair. We will focus on teamwork, attention and valorisation of people, accelerating innovation and ability to read market macro-trends in advance to deliver timely and competitive responses to businesses. At the fair we are aware of working on the development of strategic platforms at the service of the most important production chains of the country-system, capable of aggregating leading companies in the global markets, and is precisely towards their development that we will turn our next stage of growth.”.
