Why He Became a Mentor to Me
FREDERIC PIGNATONE is not only my father, he is my first mentor. The son of Italian immigrants, he built himself through exceptional determination. With a technical degree as his starting point, he has always worked at 200%, never counting his hours, always aiming higher, progressing, learning, and opening doors for himself that no one had opened for him.
He has always passed on to me a taste for quality work, rigor, and ambition. By watching him evolve in his career (managing teams, making important decisions, and leading major transformations).I learned what it truly means to be a committed professional.
In both life and work, he has shown me the example: to move forward with high standards, stay humble, keep learning, and never give up when facing challenges. I will always be grateful for everything he has taught me, directly or indirectly.
A Vision of the Profession Rooted in Leadership, Knowledge Sharing, and Responsibility
What he loves about his profession is the combination of technology, people, and transformation. Whether managing regional information systems, optimizing business tools, or guiding users through change, he always places people at the center.
He believes in a style of leadership based on kindness, leading by example, and having a clear vision: knowing how to guide, decide, anticipate, but also teach, listen, and support. His ability to combine leadership, pedagogy, and pragmatism is what makes him a respected professional everywhere he has worked.

Throughout his career, he often reminded me that certain human qualities matter just as much (if not more) than technical skills:
- Adaptability, essential in a constantly evolving digital environment
- Communication, to unite, explain, negotiate, and support
- Pedagogy, key to teaching, guiding, and bringing teams forward
- Rigor, as decisions in IT often impact entire organizations
- A strong sense of responsibility, necessary when managing critical systems or major projects
These values were not only principles he stated — they were values he embodied and transmitted through example.
FREDERIC PIGNATONE is far more than a professional role model, he is the person who taught me how to work, think, and move forward with determination. Everything he has passed on to me (in life and in the professional world) continues to guide how I approach my studies, my projects, and my future career. I will always be deeply grateful for it.
