Born in Ghana 1965, with mother tongues in English French and Italian, Raffaello was then educated in England to A' level standard before joining his father as an International Timber Broker. He aided in the design and implementation of one of the first logistical systems to support the extraction of logs through its life cycle to the manufacturing of wood products. This effort entailed assignments in Papa New Guinea, British Guyana, Nigeria, Malawi, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Korea and Japan. On returning to England in 1991, he attended Brighton University and awarded the CDS (Control Data Systems) best student award in 1993. During and after University became an Oracle programmer and database designer for the International Oil conglomerate CGG (Compagnie Generale de Geophysique), working in London, Paris and Algeria, where he was instrumental in delivering Petrovision; an E&P Interactive Databank Software System for building customised near-line based networked interactive electronic repositories with security. In his own time Raffaello developed a data parsing and loading tool, VLOAD, which he then used as the foundation to setup his own company in the UK, PDMSI Ltd. In 1996 Raffaello was headhunted by an American start-up and sold the intellectual rights to his UK venture to an Australian company.

In the States Raffaello initiated, designed and developed integrated information systems, with database and application security to meet FDA quality assurance and in compliance for the Pharmaceutical industry; the system named EP (Enterprise Pharmacology) was the first of its kind in the industry. This system was heavily involved in system validations, IQOQ (Installation Qualification and Operational Qualification). Therefore, Raffaello was certified in many technical open software systems, products and quality assurances.

During his 10 years in the States, while travelling around the US and Europe extensively as part of the executive team, he helped establish the company's headquarters in Philadelphia, InnaPhase Corporation; building it from the 5 man start-up to 200 employees, when it was sold for $65 million to Thermo Electron last year.

About my golf

My golf fluctuates as does my weight!

I have been playing golf for about 8 years and I enjoy my golf tremendously; my handicap at present fluctuates round the mid late twenties. The lowest my handicap has reached was a handicap of 11, which did not last too long. I have played all over the USA, UK and parts of Africa.
