Alessandro Schiffini

Please describe your career path
I began working as a researcher in the Advanced Research Laboratory in '97: I worked on publications and patents in the field of photonics and supported the Product Development Unit, subsequently becoming a Senior Researcher. When Pirelli Labs was created in 2001 I began dealing with project management, working in particular on a three-year research project at the European level as Project Coordinator. Pirelli broadband Solutions officially came into being in 2004 and I became a Product Manager, dealing with marketing and product management.

What are the interesting and instructive aspects of your job?
Working in the field of photonics has always been my dream and Pirelli has provided me with great opportunities for growth, demonstrating a belief in research and the strength of innovation. Here you find yourself in an environment that stimulates your talents and your curiosity. Moreover, Pirelli provides you with opportunities to work within an international ambit, with the possibility of enriching your professional and personal curriculum. I dreamt of doing this job: I believe helping others to communicate helps them to feel freer.
