Diego Rizzi appointed as CIO – Intesi Group strengthens for future challenges

A professional career that began 25 years ago in Omnitel, with the initial role of IT Consultant. Then followed a long and diverse experience spanning over 20 years at Vodafone, with increasing responsibilities that saw him move from Infrastructure Architect to Head of IT Operation and later to Head of Development. He also held the position of Head of Technology at Ho.Mobile, the second brand of the multinational telecommunications group. Finally, he spent four years at Italia Online in the top role of Chief Information and Technology Officer. But just before the summer came a new and significant turning point: Diego Rizzi became the Chief Information Officer of Intesi Group.

We chose to entrust Diego with this crucial role in the company due to his managerial, technical, and human standing, as well as his extensive experience in both national and international contexts. IT is definitely a critical area in Intesi Group, and Diego is the right person to help with the company’s growth, transformation and innovation, not only from a technological perspectiveexplains Paolo Sironi, CEO of Intesi Group. 

Rizzi replies thus, “I knew Intesi Group simply because it is one of the historical brands in Italy in the trust services sector. But meeting Paolo and, little by little, the other colleagues, I perceived how much it is a reality that is always looking to tomorrow and even beyond, so much so that he asked me for a contribution of organization and innovation to prepare to face and win future challenges. Every week that passes since I joined the company makes me more and more happy and convinced of the choice I made and grateful for the trust I received: also, Intesi Group has the ideal DNA and potential to be a protagonist in a market that is increasingly undergoing strong and rapid change.
