Next in our series, we meet with Giulia Giuffrè, Group Marketing Director and Sustainability Ambassador for the great Irritec business!

Born in Capo d'Orlando in Sicily, Italy, after graduating from Bocconi University in Milan with a specialization in SME Strategy and Management, she joined Irritec, the family company founded in 1974 that is now among the world leaders in sustainable irrigation systems. She started in organizational roles within the supply chain and sales areas, becoming in 2017 Group Marketing Director and Sustainability Ambassador.

Environmental protection, optimization of water consumption, respect for crops and the natural ecosystem are Giulia’s and the Irritec mission and their passion. A mission and a passion that is support every day both within Irritec and as a Board Member of the European Irrigation Association and through collaborations with the World Bank's Water and Agriculture department.

In 2018, she was among the speakers at the 18th Infopoverty World Conference, held every year in New York City at the UN headquarters, to present innovative solutions designed to fight poverty and achieve the SDGs.

She and Irritec have also joined the UN Global Compact Network, which selected her as 2020 SDG Pioneer for Italy, acknowledging her commitment and Irritec’s to pursuing sustainable development goals, protecting the planet and people's quality of life.

The conversation that we will have with Giulia will be fascinating. They are creating a huge difference environmentally and on a full sustainable basis through their dedication and ground breaking irrigation technology.
