Luca Bernabei, CEO Lux Vide commented: “Valerio and I met when he was working for Rai, and was my counterpart in many, many demanding negotiations where he had this rare ability to maintain a respectful tone whilst valuing my needs but never forgetting his responsibility to represent his company’s interests. I couldn’t be more excited to welcome Valerio to Lux Vide. His deep understanding of the industry, his mindset, his strategic long-term vision and his wisdom of managing thousands of employees will be prove invaluable as Lux Vide embarks on its next bold and exciting growth chapter. In recent years, we have become friends outside our roles, talking not only about work but also about life and projects. So, I welcome not only a great Italian executive but a friend too.”
