Experienced Technology Leader and Certified FileMaker Developer with over 25 years of proven results in digital transformation.

With over 25 years of FileMaker development experience since 2000, I specialize in creating custom ERP systems and databases for mid-to-large companies. As a certified Claris Partner with 11 expert-level certifications, I integrate FileMaker with MySQL, APIs, and modern AI technologies.
The Person Behind the Professional
I'm Fabrizio, an Italian technology executive with a passion for transforming complex challenges into elegant solutions. Over the past 25 years, I've grown from a curious FileMaker developer into a strategic leader who thrives at the intersection of technology and business. What drives me isn't just the technology itself, but the human impact of what we build.
My approach to leadership is deeply rooted in empathy and collaboration. Having worked across three countries and multiple cultures, I've learned that the best solutions emerge when diverse perspectives come together. I believe in leading by example, staying hands-on with technology while inspiring teams to reach beyond what they thought possible.
Born and raised in Italy, with extensive experience working in Switzerland and the UK. This international exposure has shaped my ability to navigate complex, multicultural business environments.
I'm naturally curious and always exploring emerging technologies. From early adoption of AI integration to pioneering mobile solutions, I stay ahead of the curve to deliver competitive advantages.
My leadership philosophy centers on empowering people. I believe that when team members feel valued and challenged, they produce extraordinary results that exceed all expectations.
Beyond my technical expertise in FileMaker development and enterprise solutions, I bring a unique blend of analytical thinking and creative problem-solving. My background includes founding an animal welfare organization, coordinating emergency medical services, and pursuing aviation (I hold an ATPL license). These experiences have taught me crisis management, quick decision-making under pressure, and the importance of clear communication when stakes are high.
I'm equally comfortable presenting to C-suite executives and debugging FileMaker scripts with developers. This versatility allows me to bridge the often challenging gap between technical teams and business stakeholders, ensuring that technology initiatives truly serve organizational goals.
Leading enterprise-scale digital transformation initiatives for global corporations while maintaining deep expertise in FileMaker development. Managing teams up to 15 members and budgets exceeding €15M with hands-on involvement in strategic technology decisions.
Expanded my FileMaker expertise internationally, working with London-based clients to develop innovative database solutions in tourism and hospitality. This period taught me to adapt quickly to different business cultures and regulatory environments.
Transitioned from pure technical roles to strategic leadership, managing enterprise infrastructure while developing custom FileMaker solutions that delivered measurable business value and significant cost savings.
Started my FileMaker journey around 2000, creating successful mobile applications and establishing deep expertise in database architecture. This entrepreneurial experience taught me to think like a business owner, not just a technologist.

The Experiences That Shape My Leadership
My diverse personal interests and experiences have profoundly shaped my approach to leadership and problem-solving. From aviation to animal welfare, each pursuit has contributed unique perspectives that I bring to my professional work. These experiences have taught me resilience, empathy, and the importance of systematic thinking under pressure.
I hold an ATPL (Airline Transport Pilot License), which has taught me precision, risk management, and the importance of systematic thinking under pressure. These skills directly translate to managing complex IT projects where attention to detail can make the difference between success and failure.
I founded ASASCA, an animal welfare organization, demonstrating my commitment to social responsibility and ethical leadership. This experience has strengthened my project management skills and taught me how to mobilize resources for meaningful causes.
Sailing the Mediterranean has been both a passion and a learning experience. It requires strategic planning, weather analysis, and quick decision-making – skills that are invaluable when navigating complex business challenges and changing market conditions.
My experience as an ambulance service coordinator taught me crisis management, clear communication under pressure, and the importance of teamwork when lives are at stake. These experiences have made me a more resilient and empathetic leader.
Having lived and worked in Italy, Switzerland, and the UK, I've developed a deep appreciation for cultural diversity. This international perspective helps me build bridges between different teams, stakeholders, and business cultures.
I'm naturally curious and constantly learning. Whether it's exploring new FileMaker features, understanding different business models, or studying leadership philosophies, I believe that personal growth directly contributes to professional excellence.
My diverse experiences have shaped a leadership philosophy centered on three core principles:
Understanding that behind every technical challenge are real people with real needs. My experience in emergency services and animal welfare has taught me to lead with compassion while maintaining focus on results.
Whether flying an aircraft or managing a complex FileMaker project, systematic approaches and attention to detail are non-negotiable. I bring this precision to every aspect of my professional work.
Having worked across multiple countries and cultures, I understand that successful leadership requires adapting communication styles and approaches to different cultural contexts while maintaining consistent values.
I'm currently seeking new opportunities where I can apply my 25+ years of experience in a C-level role. I'm particularly interested in positions that combine strategic technology leadership with meaningful business impact, especially those involving FileMaker development and database solutions.
