Alessandro Bonaretti

I have dual Citizenship , Italian and South African - Have valid passports for both.

I have more than 25 years of professional experience in an IT Administrative / Technical / Consultant capacity. I have worked as an IT Support Technician/Consultant or Administrator to multiple individuals in various companies. I am sure you are aware of the flexibility, focus and diplomacy such positions require. I want to bring the experience, knowledge and insight gained through these various experiences.

I have much to offer in the way of diversity, experience and professionalism.

I have worked in industries within in South Africa, Namibia and Botswana like: Radio and TV broadcasting, engineering, production, insurance etc. Within these industries I have had the opportunity to learn human resource policies, procedures and the protocol necessary to enforce them ethically and without liability. I have sharpened my organizational and people skills, attention to detail and my ability to work with speed and accuracy.

In my past and current position at Inception IT I have gained experience in research, writing reports, documenting Procedures and much more. Combine all of this experience with my natural talents (problem solving, planning and research) and with my work ethic you have a well-rounded candidate you will be proud to have on your staff. My Languages consist of English (Home Language), Italian , Piedmontese and Afrikaans.

I have multiple hobbies , consisting of cycling , ice skating , Chess ,online Gaming and others.

I would really love to relocate to Italy from South Africa.
