Background

About Alberto Verna

I am a results-driven, analytical, and highly motivated professional with a positive and proactive approach. I am passionate about building relationships and fostering effective team collaboration. I began my career at AgustaWestland (now Leonardo Helicopters) in 2007, after my Master’s Degree in Engineering. Initially dealing with Computational Fluid Dynamics and wind tunnel testing within the Aerodynamics Department, I then developed project management and team coordination skills by participating in and leading several European research projects, including the Clean Sky - GRC2 initiative, eventually becoming Chief Project Lead for aerodynamics. Building on my technical expertise, I transitioned to a business-oriented role, first Marketing specialist and then as the segment Manager for Super-Medium helicopters. In February 2019, I embarked on an exciting opportunity at Kopter as a Senior Manager of Marketing Intelligence, where I managed marketing activities and led the launch of the SH09 product. Following Kopter’s acquisition in 2021, I returned to Leonardo, where I initially served as Senior Marketing Manager for the Single Engine segment, encompassing the AW09 and innovative propulsion solutions, then extending the responsibility to all Single-engine portfolio. I now hold the position of Head of Dual Use AWFamily Platforms Value Proposition, overseeing the team that defines the strategic direction, marketing and sales engineering initiatives on the large twin engines portfolio of Leonardo products.
