Interview with Orlando Della Pietra

Which person - alive or dead - would you like to meet and why?
Roger Federer - as a person and brand he embodies very good and proven values - I have great respect for that. But there are many others ...

What was the best decision in your professional career?
In 1995 I was able to choose between 3 apprenticeship positions - and I chose Brütsch/Rüegger Metals (at that time the steel tubes division)!

What is the best thing about your profession?
In addition to the factual business, there is always room for personalities and stories. In my 10 years as a sales manager I have met many interesting and exciting people and experienced one or two funny stories.

Which three things in your life are you most grateful for?
Family, friends and health.

What changes do you hope for in the future?
A little less me, a little more us. A little less social media, a little more interaction. A little less "stingy is cool", a little more "Swissness", etc.

With which three words would you describe yourself?
Down-to-earth - Ambitious - Determined

Which country is at the top of your travel wish list?
Although I have had the privilege of traveling to a number of countries, there are still many destinations I would like to visit: currently South Africa, Australia and Scandinavia would be the top 3.
