60 minutes with… Andrea Dovizioso: a meeting between passion, career and inspiration

At HPE Group, training is not limited to technical or specialist areas. For this reason, the ‘60 minutes with…’ initiative was introduced some time ago, a project dedicated to all employees and designed to offer opportunities for personal and professional growth through meetings with guests coming both from contexts in line with the company’s business, and from sectors or environments that, although not directly related to the Group, can represent testimonies of great value and growth.

Last 17 April, the Group had the great pleasure of experiencing a special edition of the ‘60’ con..’ project: a speed talk version that had as special guest Andrea Dovizioso, one of the absolute protagonists of international motorcycling.

After a brief introduction of his career and competitions disputed, the meeting, led by Enzo Mattioli Ferrari, EVP M&A and Business Development of HPE Group, continued with an authentic and engaging dialogue.

During the meeting, the driver recounted significant moments of his career, sharing with all present the story that led him to become one of the most appreciated drivers in the world. The most important victories were also mentioned, as well as the passion that has always linked him to the world of two wheels and the strategies that have enabled him to maintain determination, balance and a competitive spirit even in the most complex moments.

There was no shortage of more personal moments in which Dovizioso spoke of his long-standing passion for motocross and his strong ties with his homeland, Forlimpopoli, as evidence of a profound genuineness and great pride in his career.

Andrea Dovizioso’s story was a precious source of reflection on themes that go beyond sport: the management of pressure, resilience, the importance of teamwork and the ability to give life to incredible projects. Values that also find full application in the day-to-day reality of the HPE Group.

Special thanks to Andrea Dovizioso for sharing his experience and energy with us, and to the whole team who made this meeting possible.

‘60 minutes with…’ was born with the idea of creating moments of confrontation on themes linked above all to soft skills, attitudes, life experiences and values that can improve the way of working and the approach to daily challenges. Not only technical know-how, therefore, but also inspiration, motivation and open-mindedness.
