Fabrizio joined GEODIS in 2006 as Management Control Manager after a degree in Business Administration and experience in the logistics sector as well as in industry.

 

His academic background led him to carry out different roles within the financial function before making a decisive step into operations where he continued for three years in the AMERICAS region of GEODIS.  It was there that he held the position of Deputy COO with direct responsibility for logistics activities in the LATAM region.

 

Back in Italy in 2018, he was appointed General Manager of GEODIS for the Contract Logistics activity in Italy. He took up his new position as Managing Director of Italy as of January 1st, 2021 and replaces Francesco Cazzaniga.
