Whether you need to design a go-to-market strategy, negotiate a world-wide partnership or have an insightful conversation about the state-of-art technologies, you can count on him. Andrea’s life trajectory is inspiring and a proof of his constant desire to expand his horizons. I’m always impressed by his ability to captivate people and the energy he brings to the table.”
