Bio
Giuseppe Trapani
I worked alongside Valentina before managing her, and I can only talk well of her. She is not only very committed to her job, but always keen on learning. She is liked and respected by team-mates and foreign partners alike. I was particularly impressed by how she managed to keep a steady growth in important market such as Germany and Korea whilst developing new lucrative opportunities in Scandinavia. Her warm personality makes it very hard for you not become friends with her.
