About Davide

Automating a broken process just speeds up the chaos. I help companies build solid operational bases first, then scale them through Data Intelligence and AI Strategy.


As a Management Engineer with 10+ years of hands-on experience in Operations and Supply Chain Optimization (including global leaders like Luxottica), I bridge the gap between complex business workflows and digital transformation.

I don't just "deploy technology"; I solve operational headaches. I specialize in identifying hidden structural inefficiencies, mapping real-world processes, and turning raw data into reliable, automated ecosystems that save team hours and eliminate reporting latency.

What I can handle for your organization:


Process Mapping & Optimization: Breaking down complex operational workflows, eliminating bottlenecks, and setting up clear ownership before automation.

Business Intelligence & Analytics: Designing intelligent, predictive dashboards (Power BI) to give leadership clear, real-time decision-making power.

Process Automation & AI Strategy: Implementing practical automation setups and Agentic AI systems tailored to real business cases, ensuring high data governance.


Whether you need to restructure a messy data architecture, streamline an international subcontractor network, or safely integrate Generative AI into your daily workflows, I deliver production-ready roadmaps that execution teams can build without friction.

Let’s connect to turn your operational challenges into automated, scalable value.
