I speak Italian, English, I know French and a little bit of Chinese. I know also Latin and Old Greek.

I organize my working experience from the oldest to the actual so you can see my interest in operating in all the sectors of the company before becoming the GM

1980-1986 Politecnico di Milano – Electronical Engineer

During the university years I created with my friend  a small company for  home computers repair  and  software development.

We became official maintenance point in Crema area for Commodore, Sinclair and other brands. At the end of university (1986) the home computer market was disappearing and we were not interested to switch to Pc’s maintenance so we closed the company

1986-1995 IT Manager in Bettinelli F.lli S.p.A.

Because in the past I developed some software for Bettinelli F.lli S.p.A., they asked me to became their IT manager .

Bettinelli F.lli S.p.A., were I am still working, is a mechanical company. It  produces and sells cam box systems and pharma and cosmetics SPM. In 1986 it had 25 employees only

With a team of 2 software engineers we developed CAE softwares for cam profile design and manifacture. We developed also a proprietary CRM solution, fully integrated with the production process. That softwares are  running in the company.

1996-1998 Production Manager in Bettinelli F.lli S.p.A.

Because I achieved all the target as IT manager I moved to manage and reorganize the production process.

JIT process was implemented and MRP software was developed to support the planning process. The company started the investment in FMS and at the end of the period the production was on 3 workshifts: the day shift controlled by workers and the night shift completely without human control.

1999-2001 Quality Manager in Bettinelli F.lli S.p.A.

When the reorganization of the production ended I started to certificate the company activities. All the process were mapped, targets and performance metric was implemented for every process. In 2001 the company was ISO 9001:2000 certified.

2001-now. General Manager of Bettinelli F.lli S.p.A.

In 2001 I became GM of Bettinelli. F.lli S.p.A. At that time whe company had 124 employees.

In the same year I started the MBA in SDA-Bocconi University in Milano. For the next two years I worked in the company during the day and in the late afternoon I moved to Milano to the lessons. in 2003 I obtained my MBA degree.

In 2002 I started  the intenationalization  of Bettinelli. The international sales force was composed by resellers and agents, so Bettinelli was not directly on the markets.

The first subsidiary (CDS Corp.) started in 2003 in Sparta, NJ, USA with 3 employees and immediately achieved good results.

In 2007 the second subsidiary started in Germany (CDS GmbH) and I became first the procurator and then the Geschäftsführer/ Managing Director of the new company with 2 employees.

The expansion of Bettinelli was slowed down by the general recession in 2009. I became in the same period ad interim HR Manager and Financial/Account Manager to implement special strategies.

As HR manager I started a negoziation with Unions to reduce the workforce in the company. In few months the agreement was signed by the Unions and the company started to operate accordingly.

As Financial/Account Manager  I introduced a better financial planning system, new agreements were achieved with the main suppliers and new credit lines were opened with the banks.

The implemented strategy was successfull so I resigned as HR and Financial/Account Manager in 2010.

In the same year  Bettinelli Automation Components Pvt. Ltd. was created in India. After few months the new Indian subsidiary starts to have good performances so I am moving to the next step, starting assembly process in the Indian and USA subsidiaries. The aim is to become more competitive on those markets.

I am now working to increase our share on Asian markets and I am planning to open a new subsidiary in China, where we are selling through a reseller in Shanghai. In the meantime I am planning a new subsidiary in Brazil also.

I am post graduate in Pharmaceutical sciences of 1983 batch and a hard core manufacturing professional, with in depth knowledge of Pharma formulations operations, having worked with major Indian companies at senior level. Since last 15 years or so, I have worked as Plant Head: Sun Pharma, GM Mfg; Torrent Pharma, Plant head of Ranbaxy and now as Sr. V.P. Amneal Pharmaceuticals.
