I have known Vito since 2012 and witnessed his professional development over the years. Vito reported to me working at Gucci between 2012 and 2015 as "Associate Area Manager' covering 25 stores across the UK, Ireland, Germany and Sweden. Vito is a highly qualified Retail Manager with experience in all aspects of the business, including setting and achieving sales targets for all locations under his responsibility, operations, client development, as well as a very deep knowledge of HR, its policies and application of them within a work environment. People skills and coaching are part of his strengths; he has a natural leadership style which allows him to influence people around him and develop their talents and skills. Having known Vito for many years I can state that he is an honest, committed and reliable person with solid personal values.
