An expert recruiter in all things digital, Andrea leads our Media, Advertising, E-Commerce & Advertising Technology team in his native Italy. He manages the most senior selection processes for the digital communications and sales vertical (Broadcasters, Publishing Companies, Publishing Sales Houses, Agencies, E-commerce platforms…) as well as the related functions within the Brands Companies (Marketing Directors, Chief Digital Officers, E-commerce Directors for industries sectors like FMCG, Retail, Fashion & Luxury…)

Andrea kicked off his recruitment career in 2011 – a crucial time for the blossoming digital sector. With his foothold established, he built up a complete market picture, starting with advertising and e-commerce profiles before taking on sales assignments to broaden his scope. Andrea quickly moved into recruitment management positions, applying his skills to ever-more senior profiles. 

He then took the opportunity to manage the entire digital practice, picking up invaluable recruitment strategies and market know-how over two successful years. In July 2022, Andrea joined Page Executive to flex his executive search muscles with great autonomy.

His recruitment know-how, combined with his management experience, gives him a unique perspective that facilitates communication with clients. Always looking to improve, he thrives in the Page Executive culture, sharing skills and experience to build cross-industry synergies.

Andrea oversees Page Executive’s Media and Digital sector in Italy and has his sights on becoming the country’s number one recruiter for senior roles. His ambition is certainly on track. Clients are consistently impressed with his market knowledge and clear understanding of what the assignment entails. But it’s not just about his efficient working techniques – Andrea is a natural peoples’ person who builds strong relationships. When he’s not tracking down top candidates, Andrea is a musician, channelling his creative outlet through his guitar. If you’re lucky, you might spot him laying down blues and jazz with his band or going solo around Milan.

Andrea started his professional career in the marketing field, landing to the role of Marketing Manager in Johnson Wax, a global leading FMCG Company.
