Manager, proprietary software to enable an automatic costs and profit & loss reporting,
following the five company business lines.
When this project was completed, he was given the task of structuring a management control
department (5 people) for the seven companies of the Group and, at the same time, he was given
the responsibility of setting up a monthly reporting system and introducing an annual Budget
procedure.
In 1995, he was offered by 21Investimenti a position as Administration Finance and Control

In 1998, because of disagreements between the partners, 21Investimenti sold its stake and

Director in Profit SpA.

Reporting – US GAP - and Controlling.
When he joined the company, he founds a high critical situation with respect to the fulfilment of
corporate and tax obligations, due to the inaccurate management of Dade Behring merger,
which had taken place before he arrived, and to an uncompleted migration of the information
system onto the new SAP application.

to be regularised before the closing of 1999 accounting year.

million Euro pro soluto credits out of the Italian subsidiary with a great impact on the
