Marco Ciardi

I'm a PMP® certified project/program manager with 10 years' experience in IT implementations related to both back and front office applications.

I started my career as ERP business analyst gaining a lot of knowledge on business needs and IT solutioning working for internal and external clients in Italy, Switzerland, Hong Kong and The Netherlands. I keep on leveraging/further developing this knowledge in my recent assignments where my involvement shifted to global implementations, working at project and program level in the EMEA and US area with direct lines of reporting to the regional top management and our Headquarter in Japan.
