SMARTFENSE appoints Giuseppe Filippo as Account Executive for Italy

Giuseppe Filippo joined SMARTFENSE on 14 September 2026 as Account Executive for Italy. He will work with Italian organizations that are building their security awareness program, from the first measurement of human risk through to running the platform.

Italy is one of the four markets SMARTFENSE designs its content for, together with Latin America, Spain and Portugal. With Giuseppe Filippo on board, five people now work on that market. Cristian Fassi is the Regional Sales Manager, Andrea Sona writes the European regulation content, Valerio Magistri handles sales prospecting and Jonathan Borza provides technical support for Italy and Spain.

Giuseppe Filippo brings experience in sales, business development and market entry. In his role he will work with Italian organizations through the three stages an awareness program usually goes through: the first measurement of human risk, the rollout of the platform, and setting the objectives of each campaign.

Italy was the market where the team grew most in depth over the past year, with three hires in three different functions between April and August 2026. The European regulatory agenda, with NIS2 as the closest reference for Italian organizations, is one of the recurring themes in that market.
