For over ten years, she has demonstrated her excellent understanding of our customers’ challenges, and her ability to accelerate the company’s growth in this region. I have no doubt that Antonella will make a very positive contribution to the Industry 4.0 transition of the companies that place their trust in us in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.”

Antonella Capelli began her career at IBM Global Business Services, in IT project management, digital innovation and consultative sales for the fashion market. In 2013, she joined Lectra as Professional Services Manager for Italy. She then moved into a sales role in 2017, gradually increasing her responsibilities in Italy and the Southern Europe and North Africa region. She holds a master’s degree in management and production engineering from the University of Milan-Politecnico (Italy).

“I am particularly honored and excited to be able to support Lectra’s success in a region where our customers’ challenges can be very diverse”, says Antonella Capelli. “I’m looking forward to working closely with all EMEA teams to provide solutions that will enable players in the fashion, automotive and furniture industries to pursue their digital transformation.
