Flavio Desandrè - SPEAKER

ICT Manager, Cogne Acciai Speciali

Executive IT Leader in complex industrial environments, with 15+ years of experience driving multi-site and multi-country digital transformation programs.
I currently lead the IT function of an international manufacturing group, overseeing SAP S/4HANA transformation, post-acquisition IT harmonization, cybersecurity governance, and IT/OT integration across multiple subsidiaries.
My role combines strategic governance and execution discipline, ensuring technology initiatives are aligned with business objectives, operational continuity, and financial performance.
Key areas of focus include:
– Multi-country SAP rollout and standardization
– IT governance and organizational scaling
– Post-M&A IT integration and harmonization
– Cybersecurity and risk management in industrial environments
– Vendor management and sourcing strategy
– Alignment of IT roadmap with board-level priorities
I work closely with executive leadership to transform IT from an operational support function into a structured business enabler capable of delivering resilience, scalability, and long-term value.
