Meet Walter Tucci, our Sales Director
Born in Foligno, Walter brings a rich blend of influences shaped by his family roots.
I like to think of myself as an ‘Umbrian-Saxon,’ an expression that combines the professionalism and determination I inherited from my German mother and the solid values of honesty and transparency passed down from my Umbrian father.
From an early age, Walter has been accustomed to balancing different cultural contexts. As an only child, he lived between the vibrant city of Milan and the quiet Brianza region, but it was during the long summers spent at his grandparents’ in Bavaria that he developed a significant part of his personality. Those summer holydays, which he affectionately describes as “an exile,” forced him to immerse himself in a completely new environment, to learn German because none of his relatives spoke Italian, but most importantly, to expand his open-mindedness and strengthen his ability to adapt to different contexts.
After completing his secondary education in electronics, Walter joined the military, with plans to enroll in Sports Science once discharged.
His experience at the NATO base in Naples opened a new path in his life: in that international environment, he improved his English and developed a strong interest in exploring different cultures.
He then decided that upon his return, he would seek a job that would allow him to travel all over the world.
He began his career in the 1990s with a company trading in superabsorbent polymers, and after ten years, in search of new challenges, he moved to a company specializing in films for diapers and sanitary pads. As a Key Account Manager, he worked with major groups throughout Europe, expanding his skills and strengthening his professional network.
2009 marked a further step forward as he joined a company manufacturing nonwoven fabric for both the hygiene industry and many other applications. There, he finally had the opportunity to work in international markets and put his global vision into practice, collaborating with clients from different cultures and expanding his expertise in business negotiations and strategies, also in emerging markets.
At the end of this 15-year experience, a new opportunity opened up: in April 2024, he joined Magic as Sales Director.
Beyond his professional skills, what makes Walter stand out is his ability to build authentic relationships and inspire those around him.
At Magic, Walter immediately appreciated the teamwork and collaboration.
He says:
What I like most about Magic is the openness to new ideas and the team spirit among colleagues.
As for his private life, he is married to Nadia, his girlfriend since school days; they have two grown-up children, Federico and Valentina. Family is the focus of his life, a haven of peace and relaxation upon returning from his many business trips.
Walter’s leisure time is devoted to his many passions, including sports, music, and a healthy lifestyle.
Having practiced many sports since childhood, he now enjoys golf, fitness walking, and the gym; he is a strong advocate of staying active.
Music is his true great passion, a flame lit in his youth when he worked as a sound engineer. Whether it’s the pure sound to be savoured note by note or the energy of the many live concerts he has attended across Europe, music always accompanies him, wherever he goes.
Queen is certainly my favourite band; their music has been the soundtrack of my life since I was a teenager. I was lucky enough to see them live several times, including the original lineup in 1982 in Zurich.
With over 30 years of experience, Walter brings to Magic a deep understanding of market dynamics that can shape the company’s vision for the future.
Believing that success comes from integrating professional skills and building strong personal relationships, he aims to foster a collaborative and innovation-oriented workplace with the same determination that has marked every step of his professional career.
