Raffaele grew up with the passion to simultaneously carry out multiple activities – study, work, sport and volunteering – working hard to excel in each of them, with an inner drive to lead the team towards the goal. 

His passion about technology and telecommunications since the dawn of the Internet and mobile phones has led him to continually look for small or large innovations that can be used to solve problems or build a lasting success: the will to do, to set a goal and achieve it, already thinking ahead to the next one. 

He grew up professionally in a company specialized in the production of antennas and electronic devices for the marine and automotive sectors, which has gained a leading position on the world market by managing outsourcing processes abroad, and entered new markets by building branches and developing new ranges of digital IoT products. 

After devoting more than 20 years to the enterprise, Raffaele chose to give priority to his two daughters, Emma and Beatrice, and his partner Tatiana, who had a fundamental role in the birth of LHEVO. Tatiana supported and encouraged him because she was aware of his potential. 

These values, such as family and respect for people, are considered crucial in a company by Raffaele (especially for family-run SMEs) and he always tries to pass them on to entrepreneurs like him, to build a smart and sustainable way of life.
