EXPERIENCE FOR INNOVATION

Luca’s story is a story of retail, based on two different B2B and B2C scenarios. The fields of application of his work until today, have marked the competition on the market for anyone who joins it – from typical marketing management applications to direct and indirect sales management. And with skills on CRM, business intelligence, digital commerce and communication, in its every aspect.

His profile responds to our needs, which can be summed up easily thanks to the new Retex payoff. We empower changes because we know how to understand and manage them, when they happen. Anticipating them, sometimes. It is a difficult process, and it needs the right people to be well managed. That’s why Luca is here.
