Business Talk 3 - Aeroitalia x MIB Master in International Business
Our MIB Regular students had the opportunity to explore the strategic role of procurement in the aviation industry during an insightful Business Talk with Davide Tuti, Chief Procurement and General Affairs Officer at Aeroitalia.
Drawing on his extensive experience across the airline, airport services, cargo, and logistics sectors, Davide offered valuable insights into how procurement contributes to business performance in a highly competitive and constantly evolving industry. From strategic sourcing and supplier and contract management to tenders and cost optimisation, students gained a deeper understanding of how procurement decisions support operational efficiency and long-term business growth.
The discussion also highlighted the complexity of procurement in the aviation sector, where managing relationships with suppliers and aviation service providers is essential to supporting airline operations. In this context, effective procurement processes, combined with organisational transformation and digitalisation, can help strengthen transparency, improve efficiency, and support more informed business decisions.
Thank you, Davide, for sharing your professional experience and offering our students a valuable perspective on procurement as a strategic business function and its contribution to the evolving commercial aviation industry.
We would also like to thank Micaela Tavasani, Lucilla Iorio and Donatella Deppieri for their outstanding work.
