As President of Network Infrastructure at Nokia – a group that combines Nokia’s IP Networks, Optical Networks, Fixed Networks and Alcatel Submarine Networks businesses – Federico is responsible for a wide range of critical networks for customers in both the communication service provider (CSP) and webscale segments globally.

Federico holds a bachelor’s degree in telecommunications engineering and a master’s degree in switching and communication architectures from the Polytechnic University of Madrid in Spain. He was also awarded an international master’s degree in management from EM Lyon and Alcatel-Alsthom.
