      • “I met Pino when I joined Microsoft, in 2014, as part of my hiring process and onboarding. We were in frequent contact in my first months in the company, and he remained a trusted advisor after that, while I was leading the Microsoft Services team in Western Europe. I always found in Pino, beyond his domain expertise, some characteristics that I find very important especially in complex organizations: pragmatism, patience, desire to help beyond boundaries, and ultimately a combination of drive to achieve and wisdom that made every interaction productive and pleasant. I hope our paths will cross again!”
