Bio
Terry Webb
I worked with Giuseppe at both CSI and De La Rue where he demonstrated his wealth of knowledge and experience in the design & development of processing systems, their detectors and the software required to drive them. Giuseppe has always risen to the challenge of a new design requirement or an existing problem and always comes up with a leading edge solution. He is both a team leader and player, respected by both his work force and superiors. It was always a pleasure to work with Giuseppe and I now count him as a very good friend.
Michael Bolin, CPA, CGMA, MBA
Giuseppe is a leader who can make a culture impact in any organization. He offers a rare mix of broad technical knowledge, financial acumen, leadership and discipline in execution. He has a remarkable ability to listen to the voice of the customer and to translate it into advanced solutions. At DLR he grew a culture of innovation, assembled and lead a team of top quality engineers and managers, and partnered with other company functions to shape and deliver new products which rapidly became industry benchmarks - sometimes even under considerable financial constraints. I am pleased to write a recommendation for him.
