Meet Fabiano Idelfonso, a Sales Manager for EMEA based in the Udine, Italy office. Fabiano joined Fusion in 2019 as an Account Executive, but his hard work, dedication, and ability to build relationships quickly led to his promotion to Sales Manager. He now leads Fusion’s Italian Office.
“Fabiano’s focus on creating valuable relationships with not only our customers but also his fellow colleagues in other offices is central to his first-year success at Fusion Worldwide,” said Behzad Monfared, Vice President of Sales for the EMEA region.
Before joining Fusion Worldwide, Fabiano was a professional basketball player in Italy. Upon retirement, he worked in the purchasing department of an IT company, where he built up 14 years of experience in electronic component procurement. Since joining Fusion Worldwide, Fabiano has made sure to utilize the tools given to him to maximize every opportunity he comes across. As a result, he has been able to open accounts where others were unsuccessful in the past.
Fabiano’s biggest challenge has been adapting to a global organization after previously working for a family-owned business. Fabiano sees Fusion Worldwide’s global reach and scale as another learning opportunity.
“Every day is a fun challenge. Working at a global company, I never know what’s going to happen next. Will the next opportunity present itself in a few days, weeks, or even minutes? It’s like being on a roller coaster ride, and the thrill is what always gets me through the day,” stated Fabiano.
Fabiano has managed to establish great relationships and friendships within a short period of time. He is known as the “Italian Rockstar” amongst his colleagues and has become an integral part of the EMEA team. Fabiano’s personal goal is to try his best to grow every single day and to support even more customers in the coming year. His key to success is the mantra he lives by as an ex-basketball player, “Work hard, play hard,” which also happens to be the Fusion Worldwide mantra too.
