It has been my pleasure to work with Giorgio for the past seven years at Getty Images. He has tirelessly led the way on all network and storage aspects of my area of responsibility, enterprise sales applications. Giorgio fosters a strong service oriented environment, whether it is with colleagues in technlogy or end users in remote locations. He strikes the difficult balance of listening intently to customer feedback and offering actionable, sustainable solutions to complex business and technlogy needs.
