#Working3D: Six Questions for a Head of People & Talent Management

In the additive manufacturing market, there is a huge variety of jobs and profiles: CAD designers, 3D printing technicians, sales representatives, after-sales managers, etc. The 3D printing value chain includes many different links, and each of them requires specific skills and knowledge. For this reason, through a series of articles, we want to introduce our readers to the different jobs that exist in the sector. To do so, we met with experts in the market and asked them to tell us what they do, how their daily work is structured, and to give some advice to those who are about to jump into the world of Additive Manufacturing work. After meeting Emilien Goetz, presales engineer at Siemens, this time we interviewed Lorenzo Mastria, Head of People & Talent Management at Roboze.

3DN: Could you introduce yourself?

Lorenzo Mastria

Hi everyone, I am Lorenzo Mastria and I am Head of People & Talent Management at Roboze. Together with my team, I deal with everything related to People Management & Development on a daily basis. Roboze is a leading Italian-American company in the field of 3D printing of super polymers and composites for the manufacturing industry. My mission is to make Roboze the company of the future, to create a smart, exciting and stimulating environment where you can express yourself at your best and where the brightest, futuristic, persistent and talented minds can coexist.

3DN: Why did you choose to work in the 3D printing world? As a recruiter, what is your perspective on the AM market?

My entry into the world of 3D printing was a real eye-opener! After graduating in Economics & Management and completing a Master’s Degree in HR Management & Digital Skills, I worked for years for a recruiting agency specializing in engineering profiles. During my professional journey I was lucky enough to meet Roboze and Alessio Lorusso, the CEO of the company. At that time Roboze did not have a structured HR department, and after some insights into the project and the company vision, I immediately understood what my path, my mission, was. And here I am, writing together with my fantastic colleagues, a beautiful page in the history of Italian and Apulian manufacturing. AM is an innovative, very fast-paced and complex market where very specialized tech and digital skills are increasingly needed in-house. We are talking about different combinations of engineering, scientific and soft skills such as boldness, versatility and innovative mindset.
