Flavio understanding of the commercial PC market was outstanding. Not only did he understand the EMEA market but his insight in customer requirements and how to translate to product feature/solutions was essential on how we kept Think products what it is today.

I have enjoyed working with Flavio when I led the ThinkPad Product Marketing team and as a GM of ThinkPad Business Unit. Flavio understands technology and more importantly had the pulse of our EMEA customers on what the like/dislike. My team closely worked with him to identify requirements for next gen of our ThinkPad offerings. Flavio is easy to work with and in a global environment like Lenovo, he is a great team player.

When i joined Lenovo in 2010, Flavio was my first manager. He helped me to understand Lenovo ThinkPad was the best commercial notebook 🙂 but mainly how to manage product portfolio in line with EMEA market needs and trends.
