About

Professional summary

I am a technology sales executive with more than 12 years of experience in cloud, infrastructure, ITSM/ITOM, channel, and new-business acquisition. I specialize in building pipeline from net-new accounts and managing complex enterprise sales cycles from discovery through closing.

I have a strong record of quota attainment in cloud sales, including progressing from 80% attainment in my first year at Oracle to more than 100% in my second year and 200% in my final year. My approach combines high-volume outbound prospecting with consultative, value-based selling.

I am experienced in engaging C-level stakeholders, qualifying business sponsors, developing business cases, running demonstrations and proofs of concept, negotiating commercial terms, and coordinating technical validation with solution architects. I use Command of the Message and MEDDPICC to improve both customer conversations and opportunity quality.

In my current alliance management role, I govern a portfolio of more than 50 strategic technology partnerships across cloud, open source, observability, Kubernetes, monitoring, and DevOps. I work with vendors, distributors, internal delivery teams, and business units to generate resale and professional-services opportunities.

I am fluent in Italian and English and have hands-on experience with Salesforce, HubSpot, and Oracle CRM. I bring a commercial mindset, channel expertise, and a deep understanding of how Italian enterprises evaluate and purchase infrastructure software.
