Global Manufacturing & Supply Chain
Driving process improvements and shop floor optimization so production stays stable and scalable while keeping a a global supply chain with partners and suppliers.

I'm William Rizzo. I've recently joined a fast-growing and ambitious startup, where I lead the reorganization of manufacturing from supply chain through final assembly, driving new product development, efficiency and cost reduction. I work with mechanics, software, electronics and testing teams to turn innovative new products into repeatable and scalable mass production.
Driving process improvements and shop floor optimization so production stays stable and scalable while keeping a a global supply chain with partners and suppliers.
Leading teams with colleagues from different cultures across mechanics, software, electronics and field testing, aligning people and driving execution from concept to global deployment.
Driving product development and cost-reduction programs, drawing on a background in automation and robotics, so products move from fast prototyping to production smoothly.
Based in Italy with international experience, I work where technical depth meets structured execution. My experience spans manufacturing operations, supplier coordination, cross-functional alignment, and production scaling. I document technical insights and evolving perspectives on manufacturing and automation through my writing.
Complex systems demand structured execution, technical clarity, and long-term thinking. If you’re building at scale and need disciplined technical leadership, let’s connect.
