As AVIXA's manager of editorial content, I bring to the role fifteen years of marketing experience and ten working predominantly in editorial and video content.

I love great stories and finding the right way to tell them. I am also a stop-motion animation aficionado who makes puppets and writes books. And if you have a food-related AV story, I'd love to hear it!

An Italian living in Sweden. I have found my passion in marketing and communication as the perfect path to unify goals and strategies.

One of the most prevalent challenges faced by IT managers is maintaining control over machine management and having a platform that enables them to meet project launch objectives on the designated day across all machines. We excel at achieving this! 2008 From the outset, the drive to elevate the Digital Signage market through Voome was so potent that in 2008, the company unveiled its inaugural solution, “Voome 4” – a comprehensive and sophisticated platform for Digital Signage. Its global reception was enthusiastic, propelling its rapid expansion.

Dedicated to obtaining hardware certifications, it incorporated device management and diagnostic systems from the outset. This robust framework garnered the interest of renowned international enterprises, leading to pilot tests that later expanded across all sectors: from offices to production, logistics to retail outlets. Consolidating under a unified cloud infrastructure, Voome achieved unprecedented synergy. Since 2019, it has extended its presence to cruise ships as well.

Professor of Digital Marketing Strategies & CMO at Voome I am passionate about digital innovation and take pride in sharing this enthusiasm with my students, colleagues, and clients. I believe that passion is essential to thrive in an ecosystem like ours, where innovation and tools evolve rapidly. My journey in this field began in 2005 in the Mobile VAS market, encompassing early mobile games and ringtones. In 2011, I founded my first startup, Meetale, one of Italy’s pioneering digital publishing platforms, which the Italian Unitary Writers Association recognized as the most significant in the country. Following a substantial international experience in a collaborative project between India and Italy, I founded dfarm – Digital Transformation Factory in 2019. This network was created to embed digitalization within company processes and teams. My commitment to education led me to start teaching at the School of Management at LUM University in September 2019, using the Learning by Doing approach. Since 2022, I have served as Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) at Voome.
