Bio
Matteo Ferrara
It was a real pleasure working with Luigi during my experience at the Italian Chamber of Commerce.. He was an incredible boss, always available and very determined to achieve our goals. From him I learnt both personal and working skills and he absolutely helped all of us developing our working career. He won´t have any problem leading a big team and I am sure he will solve any kind of problem with perseverance and sense of responsibility.

I had the privilege of working with Luigi at the Italian Chamber of Commerce and Industry for the UK for 6 months. I worked with him during his Trade Fairs Department Manager Role, while he was organizing the Italian participation at Ecobuild London 2013. The Project has been a great success: we sold 971 Sqm and involved more than 90 Italian companies with excellent feedback from all our clients. Luigi has always executed a high standard work with enthusiasm and commitment and was definitely a true pillar during all the time I spent with him. He has been in the same time a Manager and a Mentor. I can definitely say that he has consistently impressed me with his ability to bring together the right people to get things done and make solid decisions: a real team leader. Its willingness and its ability in management, sales and relationships with companies, of all sectors, makes him an ideal candidate to any organization who's looking to move their business to the next level. I have learned a great deal from his leadership and I hope to have the opportunity to work with him again in the future.
