After 18 years of successful collaboration, Prysmian has decided to end our partnership. I would like to warmly thank all the people at Prysmian with whom I have had the privilege of working.

Their dedication, professionalism and support have allowed me to achieve great things.

Today I close this chapter with gratitude, ready to face new challenges and embrace the adventures to come, with the primary goal of presenting myself at the start of the Vendée Globe 2028 with a competitive project.
