Throughout these years, he has evolved his insight and capabilities which led to his appointment as a member of the Board of Directors this year.

Through his dedication to self-improvement even in an academic way, Gianluca enabled himself and his team to face the everchanging challenges that the dynamic industry of shipping threw his way.
Reaching such an important pinnacle within his professional career this year, Gianluca did not leave it up to chance to enhance his knowledge and offer his expertise within every facet that he faced.
