Professional summary

I am Alessandro Franchina, an experienced professional and native Italian speaker with a strong command of English and a 30-year background in Retail, IT Customer Service, Public Administration, Business Advising, and Travel Hospitality. I am responsible, naturally driven, and excel in communicating with clients, colleagues, and management. I am hardworking, organized, and a team player who also works well independently.

Throughout my career, I have gained experience leading and coordinating teams, greeting customers at welcome desks, processing inquiries, and resolving problems across multiple communication channels. I thrive in fast-paced environments, consistently delivering excellent service with a friendly and professional approach.

Currently, I manage two holiday apartments in Palermo, where I have developed hospitality skills by catering to diverse international clients and organizing customized travel services. I also work as a freelance business consultant, supporting entrepreneurs with business plans and corporate development.

My customer service experience includes roles in international travel insurance, SME customer management for Microsoft Office 365, and Italian customer service for a global French company. I have also worked as an Italian tutor, providing language lessons online and in person.

I hold a Master's Degree in Political Sciences - Law and a Bachelor's Degree in Law. I am certified in Teaching Italian for Adults as a Second Language (CLTA) and have a passion for reading, traveling, cooking, wines, cycling, theatre, and cinema. I am immediately available to relocate and hold a full European Category B driving license.
