Meet Our Italian PUMA Fam and Their Milano Office

September 12, 2024

Get ready for the next stop on our exciting journey as we head to the vibrant city of Milan, where our PUMA Milano office is located. Nestled in the outskirts, in the charming town of Assago, our PUMA office is just a stone’s throw away from the bustling heart of Milan, making it the perfect blend of serene surroundings yet close enough to head to town for a nice after work aperitivo ๐Ÿน.

The Milano Assago office is a buzzing hub, housing several key business units for the Italian market, including People & Organization, Sales, Finance, Merchandising, Marketing, General Services, and Operations. Additionally, our Torino office hosts the Marketing Motorsport BU, and one of our most important stores is situated at the Scalo Milano Outlet & More mall, just 12 km from our Italian HQ in Assago.

At PUMA Milano, our PUMAFam believes in celebrating every moment. From birthdays to project launches, the office is always buzzing with excitement. Savoring the Italian Dolce Vita, our PUMAs love to indulge in delicious cakes and sweets to celebrate special occasions. Also new little PUMAs are welcomed to the PUMAFam as every newborn PUMA Bambino receives a “Baby kit” equipped with PUMA apparel, shoes, and a cuddly teddy bear. During the summer, of course the Milano office cools off with artisanal gelato in the garden and they host a fabulous Summer Party every year.

โ€œWe have some footballs always available in our garden so it is quite common to see from time to time people there kicking and playing with the balls while having a call on the phone.. .A good stress relief! ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿคฃโ€

Lucia Laffranchi, People & Organization Manager

๐Ÿ“ฃ What our Milano PUMAs say

To truly capture the essence of the Milano office, we asked our PUMAs to share what makes Milano such a special PUMA location, how they describe the office in three words, and what their best memories are.

 

Cristina Maria Arioli โ€“ Controller

โ€œWhat I love most about working at our Italian location is the people I share my workdays with. It’s the laughter and the moments of connection that make every day special. At the end of the day, itโ€™s the relationships we build that truly define our experience hereโ€

What makes the PUMA Office so special?

The PUMA office in Assago is special because itโ€™s a hub where passion for sports, a strong drive to grow the company, and professionalism come together in a unique way. The energy here is contagious; everyone is dedicated to working as a team, and what really sets us apart is our collaborative spirit. Plus, being in Assago, let us have a unique connection to both the urban vibe of Milan and the relaxed, green surroundings: it’s the best of both worlds.

Describe the office in three words.

Inspiring, Fun, Collaborative

Your best memories from the office!

One of the funniest experiences I remember is the creation of this ‘PUMA Around the World’ video. It was a fantastic opportunity for us to share our story and showcase who we are, not just through our office spaces, but also by highlighting the iconic locations of our city. It was a memorable day that brought our team together in a fun and creative way.

What makes the PUMA Office so special?

The atmosphere that makes you feel at home, free to express yourself both in your work and as a person

Describe the office in three words.

Familiar, dynamic and creative

Your best memories from the office!

I think that the best moments experienced in our headquarter are the occasions in which we have celebrated some successes together and all the occasions in which I have been able to get to know my colleagues better outside the role they hold in the company and thanks to the events and parties that we have the opportunity to organize (both experience them and organize them in person)

Federica Spreafico โ€“ People & Organization Retail Partner

โ€œThe thing I love most about our office in Assago is the fact that it feels like family. Coming to work is nice not only because I love my job but also because our headquarters is very beautiful and welcoming and above all it is an informal and familiar environment, where we have breakfast together in the morning, we have lunch all together and there is always a good opportunity to exchange a few jokes and celebrate someone!

โ€œ

Alessio Pierucci โ€“ Performance & Accessories Merchandising Executive Southern Europe

โ€œI love working at the PUMA office in Assago thanks to its vibrant and collaborative atmosphere, innovative spirit, and the strong sense of community among employees.โ€

What makes the PUMA Office so special?

The environment: in the Assago office I donโ€™t just find colleagues, but friends…the PUMAFam!

Describe the office in three words.

Work, family, dynamic

Your best memories from the office!

Every time we celebrate something is a special moment.

What makes the PUMA Office so special?

People first and then the amazing venue!.

Describe the office in three words.

Awesome, cozy, stylish

Your best memories from the office!

Being all together in an open space allows us to interact more easily and truly feel part of the great group we are.

Miriam Timelli โ€“ Demand Planner

โ€œThe sum of โ€˜people and officeโ€™ has only one result: Home.โ€

 

Erika Favale โ€“ Office Manager

โ€œAn indelible memory, the day when, a few years ago, Giorgio Chiellini came to visit us, a wonderful person with whom I was able to make a tour of our offices with him and get to know him better. In conclusion, I love working at the Italian office, we are a “small, big family” and the atmosphere is like that of home. Resuming in three words: “office sweet office”!

What makes the PUMA Office so special?

I would answer that it is a special and unique office!! First people, second every detail has been thought out to ensure that employees and visitors feel comfortable.

Describe the office in three words.

Bright, green, dynamic

Your best memories from the office!

There are many stories, from the construction phase of the building, during the visits with the management to the completion of the works and the inauguration, that day was super and exciting!!! Or, our little frog mascot who occasionally visit us in our garden since the first day we moved, or again, the summer parties organized in our garden or, the “special” lunch breaks in our canteen organized among us with a different culinary theme each time and last but not least, the day we planted a mimosa tree in our garden, donated by a colleague. Since that day, we have been taking care of it.

Our PUMA Milano office is not only a workplace, it’s a lively community that perfectly balances tradition and modernity, much like the city itself. From the historic Duomo di Milano to the trendy Navigli district, there’s always something to explore. At our Milano office we feel the PUMA amore and see a blend of history and innovation, and meet a team that’s always ready to push the envelope and create something extraordinary.

 

Che bello, PUMA Milano!
