ABOUT ROCCO BARRA

With more than 15 years of experience in IT systems and cybersecurity, I have built a solid career at the intersection of technology, strategic leadership, and business transformation. My passion for information technology, cultivated since my early studies, has evolved into a professional path dedicated to creating secure, scalable, and innovative solutions for complex industrial environments. As Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at a market-leading industrial engineering firm, I oversee the development and protection of critical systems, driving digital initiatives that align with business goals and operational excellence. My dual expertise — both technical and managerial — enables me to lead cross-functional teams, manage high-impact projects, and deliver measurable results. I hold a certification in Project Management, which strengthens my ability to govern processes, mitigate risk, and ensure continuous improvement across all business areas. Notable achievements include the creation and launch of a new AMS business unit, where I translated strategic vision into a fully operational, value-generating division. I’m passionate about empowering teams, fostering innovation, and building resilient IT infrastructures that support long-term growth. My background in business analytics, paired with a structured and analytical mindset, allows me to provide clear, data-driven insights that improve organizational performance. I am always interested in connecting with fellow professionals, sharing insights on IT security, digital innovation, and leadership — and exploring new strategic perspectives that drive long-term business success.
