I started my career working as a system administrator for the IT Division of 3M Italy in 1997. After two years I moved into the networking and security field, and joined the team involved in the e-Government project supported by Lombardy's regional government (1999), working for the definition of architecture and standards for the regional Extranet VPN network - a shared telecommunication infrastructure connecting public administrations and healthcare organizations both to implement PAs Intranet and Extranet as well as to promote the homogeneous development of e-Government services (G2C and G2B) within the region.

In 2000, with the desire to focus definitively on security solutions, I became a Security System Engineer of Uniautomation  (an Italian system integrator/solution provider founded in 1977). From July 2003 to March 2005 I have been the Systems Engineering Manager of this same company, having the responsibility for the pre-sales team, and in 2005 I was appointed the role of Information Security Competence Centre Manager,with the assigned goal to provide sales forces assistance and actively controbuting in developing the company business in the security market.

After a brief experience in Barclays Banck PLC, as an IT Services Delivery Manager, today I'm the Security Manager of AR Enterprise, an outsourcing/service company working for financial institutions.

My strong passion for ICT security has always been the primary incentive in studying and improving my knowledge, through intensive certification programs, both vendor-driven and vendor-independent.

Besides Cisco Certified Security Professional(CCSP), GCFW, CISSP, and ISECOM-OPSA certifications my last challenges have been the Master’s Degree of Information Security (IQNet Information Security Manager qualification – www.securman.it) which I successfully obtained in June 2006 after a one year course at the MIP Business School, and the CISA certification (www.isaca.org/cisa).
