Andrea Pozzi
After having divided his time between study, skiing and rock music, Andrea began his career in 1997 in the of financial information digital services of the Radiocor division of Il Sole 24 Ore where he remained until 2005.
These were years of fast growth of the sector and Andrea was faced with a number of opportunities, from designing services to managing more complex work teams. More importantly, it is along the corridors of Radiocor that Andrea meets Alberto and Dario, becoming their partner in Message in 2007 after having worked in the publishing industry.
As soon as possible, Andrea travels around Italy introducing Message to various companies, learning something new with each journey he makes.
He has long-forgotten his degree in electronic engineering obtained at Milan Polytechnic. He strenuously defends the value of concision when supervising communication projects and fights his own battle against boredom and self-referentiality.
During winter he can be seen whizzing down the snowy slopes of the Valle d’Aosta with his two children, while in the summer he turns his hand to farming at the Orta Lake.
Of course, all that would change if Mick Jagger were to ask him to join the band.
