About

I' m currently Senior Vice President of Cisco Southern Europe, leading our operations across 21 countries and serving on the Board of Trustees of the Cisco Foundation. What drives me every day is the opportunity to connect technology, digital innovation, and people — not as separate forces, but as elements that thrive when in dialogue with each other. I’m especially passionate about how Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity can become enablers of a more inclusive, secure, and sustainable future. I’ve always believed that talents are everywhere, but opportunities are not. That’s why I’m proud to champion initiatives like Cisco Networking Academy, which bring digital skills and education to people and communities across the globe — creating real opportunities where they’re needed most.
