Dear Colleagues,
I begin my mandate as CEO of OSAI A.S. S.p.A. and my first wish is to thank the Shareholders for the trust they gave me.
I receive now this duty not only with service-oriented behavior but also with the strong wish to contribute to the realization – with the Ferrero family– of the dream of Carlo Ferrero, founder and leader of the OSAI for more than 20 years who left us too soon.
My commitment will be the accomplishment of the projects already under way and the development of new ones, preserving in the meanwhile the heritage of both human and professional results, gained until now that define OSAI distinctive feature worldwide. Nevertheless, I am sure that I can count on the experience and willingness of all of you. I ask you to help me by identifying topics of discussion, issues to be addressed, initiatives to be undertaken, without ever forgetting the words of Carlo according to which “… the people are our strength”.
