A Meaningful Career with Palo Alto Networks in Italy

My journey in IT began in 2007, leading me to cybersecurity in 2011, where Palo Alto Networks quickly captured my attention. Their 2012 IPO and bold market disruption signaled a company rewriting the rules. As an Account Manager, I watched their innovative spirit and strategic growth redefine the security landscape.

Transitioning to Channel Business Manager, I saw firsthand how partners viewed Palo Alto Networks: disruptive, visionary, and laser-focused. It became clear this was where I wanted to be.

In August 2021, I joined Palo Alto Networks and immediately understood why the market held the company, its people, and its culture in such high regard. As I often say, "Palo Alto Networks is for the brave" – things move fast, and every day brings new challenges and opportunities to grow.

My four years with the channel have been incredibly rewarding, inspiring me to raise the bar constantly. Now, I'm excited to embark on a new chapter as Major Account Manager for the Industries Sector. This move is a testament to a company that truly recognizes talent, embraces individuality, and fosters an environment where boredom simply doesn't exist.

I'm grateful to be part of this endless source of innovation and energy, where there's always a new way to contribute and make a meaningful impact.
