Bio
Isabella Spadaro
Ho seguito Ruggero in un percorso di carriera finalizzato a creare consapevolezza e a ridefinire il quadro delle competenze maturate, per il posizionamento sul mercato del lavoro. Ruggero ha mostrato una grande resilienza riuscendo a cogliere il vento del cambiamento in positivo. Il confronto con una persona di tale background professionale e dotata di intelligenza emotiva e relazionale mi ha permesso di crescere non solo professionalmente ma anche personalmente. Grazie Ruggero.

Ruggero and me were colleagues at Vestas. For 2 years we had a close collaboration as we were part of the Global Category Management Team for Installation. During that period, the team managed to create and deploy a successful medium-long term strategy improving Quality delivery, HSE indicators and decreasing costs of Vestas’ Installation subcontractors. Ruggero was a key player in this project thanks to his deep knowledge on the wind industry, his out of the box thinking and his empathic approach to problems.
