Stonefly is the first step of my career in Sales. I joined the company as Area Manager Southern Europe, then follow the markets of France, Spain, Portugal, Greece and Turkey, which is the most important area in terms of foreign sales. I had the responsibility of agencies and key accounts in the various countries. I made my entry into Benetton, however, as Sales Manager of Spain and Portugal, a position related to the particular store management in partnership. After a few months, however, I assumed the role of Sales Manager and Retail for Spain, which led me to having to manage all Benetton stores in the country, not just those in partnership, but also those owned by the company.
