Annie Tham (VP GM, CREOX, Singapore): I had the pleasure of working with Marco Pagnin during my time as Vice President of Operations at Agilent Technologies. We collaborated on several supplier engagement events, where Marco brought valuable leadership, insight, and presence. His support and partnership made a strong impact — both in shaping supplier strategy and in building meaningful connections across the ecosystem. Marco is always a pleasure to work with — professional, thoughtful, and collaborative. I’ve seen first-hand how he brings deep expertise in procurement and supply chain to every discussion, and how he drives alignment with purpose and clarity. I’m confident he will be a great asset to any organization or project he supports, and I fully recommend him in his current role as a consultant in procurement and supply chain. Angelo Isella (CEO, PVR, Italy): I’ve had the privilege and honor of working closely with Marco for several years—both on global projects and in day-to-day operations. He’s an incredibly dedicated professional, and what struck me first was his work ethic, integrity, and unwavering commitment to the mission. His technical expertise is outstanding, matched by a strong leadership mindset and the ability to keep teams focused and aligned toward results. Among his many qualities, I’d highlight his strategic vision—he consistently anticipates future organizational needs and global dynamics, planning ahead with clarity and precision.
