This month we had the pleasure of interviewing Dino Sist, Project Leader and Thermotechnical Designer.

1. What was the most surprising technological change you experienced in your company?

As you can imagine… my ‘registry date’ led me to fully experience the epochal change (in the design field) that even consisted of the transition between the execution of technical drawings by drafting machine Vs. the use of increasingly high-performance PCs.

A notable technological change that I have been able to ‘experience’ has been to see the development and, subsequently, the availability of ec ‘brushless’ type electric motors (with continuous variation of speed and, therefore, of yields and electrical absorption) alongside and/or replacing traditional ac type electric motors: hence the application in many of our products.

2. Has there been an event or person that has contributed to changing the way you work?

Certainly many of the people/colleagues I have met during the three decades I have spent here at TV have influenced and thus definitely contributed not only to modifying but I would say also to shaping my way of working (so I cannot name just one person).

3. If you could go back in time, what advice would you give yourself on your first day at work?

With hindsight in the light of the experience gained (experience which also consists in having ‘adjusted one’s natural character setting’) I would certainly have lived that distant day Mun.18/07/’94 and, to tell the truth, also many of the following days, in a less “anxious” manner and believing more in my own abilities.
