We ask Silvia:

What particularly fascinates you about your current job and the healthcare industry?

Our purpose. We provide systems and services that add value to the activities of pharmacists, nurses and doctors. Our technology enables them to take care of people’s health in the best way possible. It’s a very concrete topic that concerns all of us.

Would you like to share something about your professional career? What are your key steps?

I started my career working on environmental, safety and health topics. During a big project on change management and culture development, I got the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the way human beings work. This was a really enlightening experience for me. Taking care of the people represented a unique opportunity for me to support the business. I was working for big multinational companies with different approaches, which further enriched my experience and understanding. I am so grateful for the people I met in my career because they helped me grow and become the person I am today.

Do you reveal something personal about yourself?

I am the mother of two boys and the wife of a special man. I enjoy spending my free time with them. In other words, I support them at their basketball matches, and we watch the Italian soccer championship together. Being part of a family consisting of men, you have to find a common language. In our case, it’s soccer and basketball. Apart from my family, I love the sea and long walks watching the infinite.
