WEBVTT 00:00:08.200 --> 00:00:12.760 I am Wholesale Director for the EMEA area: Europe, Middle East and Africa. 00:00:12.760 --> 00:00:14.840 I have been working at Canali for about 12 years. 00:00:18.080 --> 00:00:22.880 Every morning I tell my children that I fight for Made in Italy, which makes me extremely proud, 00:00:22.880 --> 00:00:25.080 and that I go around the world while standing still. 00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:31.760 We are talking about a very heterogeneous area from Lisbon to Vladivostok, from Tromso to Cape Town. 00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:40.000 I have always been a very curious person and, in this sense, I have always been interested in studying and understanding diversity. 00:00:41.680 --> 00:00:51.040 About 40 years ago, the Canali family started traveling to the Middle East. We are talking about a pioneering period. 00:00:51.040 --> 00:00:57.760 We can still find the second, third generation of some of our very same partners. 00:00:57.760 --> 00:01:03.200 And when I go to visit them, or we meet in the showroom, they still remember those very first approaches. 00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:11.760 With our external clients, I often make visits to our production sites. 00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:18.760 And apart from clearly seeing the craftsmanship and know-how of our people, they notice their passion. 00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:24.000 And this is something in addition to the product, capacity and reliability, 00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:29.880 it is something that is transmitted beyond different languages or conceptions. 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:37.600 Very clear examples come from the family and the company. 00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:42.040 Examples of leadership, management, that make it easier for me. 00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:49.160 One wish, I make to myself, is to continue being a worthy keeper of this jersey. 00:01:49.160 --> 00:01:51.440 It is a pleasure, as well as being proud.
