A degree in economics and commerce from the university of the Sardinian capital 29 years ago and a work experience started the following year as a cashier at the Deutsche Bank office in his city. Silvio Ruggiu, a native of Cagliari who moved to Milan, won the Manager of the Year award during the last Bluerating Awards, the awards that the homonymous newspaper specialized in the financial consulting sector awards every year to the best advisory networks and the best consultants. Italian financial companies enabled for door-to-door selling.
"Passion and effort"
"Just seeing the manager of the year written fills you with joy and pride", Silvio Ruggiu says still moved: "But behind this prestigious award there is passion, effort, commitment and the will to work knowing that you have to reach a finish line. We must never give up and we must not be discouraged in the face of difficulties. There are phases in which everything is fine and others in which everything is a bit more complicated, but every moment must be experienced as a professional growth ».
In 2001 Ruggiu left Sardinia and moved first to Rome and then to Milan, a commitment and professional growth that just a few days ago led him to receive the Bluerating Awards. And the motivation for the recognition is to be found precisely in his daily work and in having kept the helm of a historical reality of financial consultancy in Italy, creating the basis for a fruitful interaction with the new parent company of the network, Zurich. The partnership between the two companies represents, in fact, the meeting of two very high profile realities.
A delicate phase
"Right now the network that I lead, made up of over a thousand professionals, plus the general management staff, has been the subject of a project that the bank has carried out with another company, Zurich," explains the manager. “During these processes there are phases in which your business becomes even more complex. Holding the reins of everything, at a time when the market is quite competitive, required greater commitment than in the past: looking at the results, the trend and the solidity of the network, this award has arrived, which is also very important on a personal level " .
