Jacopo, what kind of Dropper do you feel?

I characterize myself as an empathetic and attentive Dropper who listens, both with colleagues and with brands. I am particularly skilled at project management and conflict resolution, however, I have to deal with the build-up of tensions that occasionally result in epic moments of emotional explosion 😄

But let's go back in time a bit: how did you get to Drop?

I arrived at Drop after a brief period in Ikea in the post-graduate administration department. I met Alfredo at a career day and after a few chats I left my job to join Drop in September 2019 and I'm close to my 5th year.

If you could describe your typical day as an eCommerce manager with a song, what would it be and why?

Cenere (Ashes) by Lazza because at the end of each day we manage to say to the customer "We will be reborn together from the asheeeees".

As an eCommerce manager, you face many challenges. Could you share a specific experience that made you especially proud to do this work? Maybe a situation where you overcame a difficulty in a creative or unexpected way?

The challenge that motivated me the most as an eCommerce manager was managing the period of the first pandemic. I was following only one client and suddenly two more very motivated ones arrived. The period did not offer many certainties, but rather a lot of fear, especially at a business level.

By establishing an almost friendly relationship with the brands, we overcame those moments with a lot of laughter and supported strong growth that continues today, in addition to the beautiful relationship.

Last question. We are Drop | e-business & love!: tell us about something you love, something you love to do or something you're curious about.

Mainly I love balance and it is the thing I look for in almost all things (especially between free time and work). When this scenario occurs, I dedicate myself to cooking (both experimenting with ever-changing places and cooking), the mountains, trekking and video games.
