This appointment is a source of pride, both professionally and personally, and comes with a renewed sense of responsibility that I embrace with seriousness and enthusiasm. Our goals for the next five years are ambitious, but I approach them with confidence thanks to our strong customer base, my experience in M&A, and the exceptional local and international teams that support me. Together with colleagues and customers I aim to foster growth, innovation, and value creation, while maintaining a strong human connection and responsibility towards the market and society.”
Rigoni succeeds Raul Mattaboni, who was recently appointed Chairman of the Board of SD Worx Italy.
“I am confident that Alessia’s experience and vision will guide the company successfully into its next phase of development. Her ability to embrace change and seize new opportunities will be decisive in continuing growth and strengthening our market position. I wish her every success in this new role,” said Mattaboni.
