About

Federico Finzi’s past record of working in some of Italy’s most innovative technology companies allows him to successfully provide ongoing legal support as general counsel to the Italian business of the global ecommerce giant Amazon. Finzi started his professional career in 1999 at the independent Italian law firm Rucellai & Raffaelli, where he immediately made a positive impression on his peers with one colleague describing him as a highly ‘intelligent and committed’ individual. Three years later he joined the global management consulting, outsourcing and technology services company Accenture as legal lead for its communications and high technology group (known internally as CHT), covering Italy, Greece and Emerging Markets region. Over the course of the nearly six years at the company, he developed interest in new technologies and began to specialise in corporate law and intellectual property. Finzi built on his achievements at Accenture during his second in-house role as an outsourcing lead lawyer at Fiat, responsible for the information and communications technology component of the company. He joined Amazon Italy in 2012 after a brief, year-and-a-half spell at the research agency Elasis and has been with the company to this date. This time allowed Finzi to establish himself as an approachable leader, who is always able to make the right legal and business decisions for the benefit of his company. His activities for Amazon focus on consumer protection, intellectual property, key M&A transactions, the launch of new features, products or services, and handling litigation.
