Danilo LUCIBELLO

“In 2008, Intel and ST Microelectronics spun off and combined their respective flash memory divisions into a new standalone company called Numonyx. As part of the initial staffing plan, I hired Danilo to join my Divisional Finance team as Revenue Finance Manager. Danilo came up to speed quickly and played a key role in helping to establish divisional planning/reporting tools for revenue, pricing, and product margins. This was an especially challenging assignment since Numonyx was still in the early stages of merging different parent-company information systems. Once processes were stabilized, Danilo then advanced his contribution by providing insightful analysis which helped the company improve pricing and product roadmap decisions. Throughout my time managing Danilo, he demonstrated not only excellent analytical skills but also a tremendous work ethic, ability to absorb new concepts quickly, and focus on producing high quality results. Danilo exhibited outstanding teamwork, both within the finance organization and with his operational business partners, and accepted new challenges with enthusiasm and a positive attitude. I enjoyed working with Danilo very much and recommend him highly for future roles.”

“I had the opportunity to interact closely with Danilo when I was GM for the Italian affiliate at Amgen. Danilo had been selected in 2005 amongst the leading MBA schools’ graduates to take part in Amgen’s International Rotational MBA Program, that aims to develop high caliber leadership and management talent. As part of this program, Danilo worked in Financial Planning & Control in Italy (2005-06), as a Sales Rep in Ireland (2006-07) and in Marketing/Market Access in Italy (2007). During this period I acted as his mentor and had regular informal meetings with Danilo to review his progress against set objectives, providing guidance and direction to further stimulate the learning and growth process. While at Amgen, Danilo constantly demonstrated eagerness to learn and take on new challenges. Not only he performed well in financial analysis, thanks to his strong analytical skills and prior experience in Investment Banking (he became quickly a pivotal figure for the consolidation and reporting of the Italian affiliate financial data), but also in sales (despite not having prior medical nor sales knowledge, Danilo exceeded his targets) and in market access (Danilo helped to create an enabling team tasked to realize market access initiatives). Peers and internal customers valued Danilo’s “can do” attitude and positive character. He is very reliable and a pleasure to work with.”
