Joining the Palo Alto Networks Sales team in Italy: Here's what you need to know!

At Palo Alto Networks, we often say that you will do the most impactful work of your career here. But that impact doesn't start months into the job—it begins the moment you join our global community. We recently welcomed three new members to our sales team in Italy, who traveled to our headquarters in Santa Clara to participate in FLIGHT, our immersive onboarding program. FLIGHT is designed to be more than just a training session; it is a deep-dive into our mission to be the cybersecurity partner of choice. By connecting new hires with experts and colleagues from around the world, we enable their success through hands-on, collaborative building.

Hear from Andrea, Daniele, and Gianfranco as they share their takeaways from an unforgettable week at HQ and prepare to bring that energy back to their roles in Italy.

Andrea, Commercial Sales Manager

“✈️ Mission Accomplished: Wrapping up FLIGHT Onboarding at Palo Alto Networks! Immense gratitude for this opportunity. What an exhilarating journey it has been, and I'm leaving with a deep sense of excitement for the road ahead. The energy of being here in person with colleagues from all corners of the world is unmatched. This wasn't just training; it was an intensive deep-dive that was personally and professionally revitalizing. What stood out most? The relentless focus on growth and collaboration. From dynamic workshops to insightful one-on-one conversations, I've seen firsthand how an evolving community translates knowledge into immediate impact. There is so much to learn from this global team.

Deep Dives & Expertise: We moved from high-level strategy into the practical application and advanced technical sessions. Getting hands-on with cutting-edge solutions and engaging directly with the experts who built them was invaluable.

The Power of the Platform: The core message that resonated most powerfully was the integration and scale of the Palo Alto Networks platform. I now have a much clearer understanding of how our collective innovation translates into unparalleled customer security outcomes.

A Global Network: My biggest takeaway remains the strength of this global community. The bonds formed over these two weeks with incredible colleagues from around the world are the real foundation for future success.

Huge thanks to all the facilitators, leaders, and fellow new joiners for making FLIGHT onboarding a truly unforgettable and transformative experience.

Now, it's time to take these insights and energy back to my role and start making an impact. Onward!”

Daniele, Major Account Manager, Central Government

“What an incredible and amazing journey! I’ve just wrapped up my first week and visit to the Palo Alto Networks headquarters, and the energy and innovation you can feel here has no comparison. It has been a magnificent adventure to listen and share so many experiences with colleagues from all over the world.

This training journey reminded me of a crucial point: the competence and dedication you can demonstrate knowing the vision, strategy and products of the company you work for, always pay off. Putting our security vision into practice is the real key to be a valuable partner and advisor for our customers.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who contributed to making this experience so rich and rewarding:

- The exceptional Trainers for their expertise.

- The Facilitators for the impeccable organization.

- My Colleagues, for sharing their knowledge and continuous inspiration.

If this is just the beginning, I am convinced that my journey here at Palo Alto Networks will be a truly wonderful path of growth and innovation.”

Gianfranco, Major Account Manager

First week of the FLIGHT Onboarding training at Palo Alto Networks HQ in Santa Clara -- and what a week! What an incredible experience — both professionally and personally.

Being here in person, meeting colleagues from all over the world, and sharing perspectives has been truly inspiring.

Each conversation, workshop, and session reminds me how much we can learn from each other and grow together.

This week has been all about collaboration, growth, and applying what we learn together — turning insights into action and teamwork into impact.

Feeling grateful to be part of such an amazing community that never stops learning and evolving."
