Profits Group

Welcome message from the Managing Director

LUCIANA SCROFANI

In these few short lines, I have the daunting task of enticing you to visit and navigate through our website.

I won't try to conceal the hard work and sacrifice that went into attaining the ultimate objective of founding Profits Group, which required a huge amount of faith and optimism, along with a proven ability to communicate.

These were the driving forces that, allied to years of study, and carried forward with a considerable degree of tenacity, allowed me to establish a business that is entirely in step with our times, totally responsive and fully able to shape its own future by continuously repositioning itself in a highly competitive market, earning its place as a major player by dint of strategies it adopts and the tools it deploys.

I consider myself a fortunate woman because I have had the opportunity to find personal fulfilment in the profession of interpreter, a role that has opened my eyes to the difficult challenges that a highly competitive business world throws up.

The creation of Profits Group arose out of meeting these challenges head on, and giving full rein to my enthusiasm.

Through commitment and tenacity, with the collaboration of a team that has grown with me, I have, over the years, put together an organisation whose strength lies in its people, working alongside public and private clients with professionalism and dedication.

It is my conviction that, if you want to succeed in the outside world, the place to start is in your own backyard.

Our long list of loyal clients is the most eloquent testimonial to this commitment, confirming the ability of me and my team to meet a range of diverse requirements by producing measurable results and winning strategies.

The dynamism, optimism and energy that pervade my private and professional life have provided the recipe for success that our company deserves, and which is there for all to see.

A professional interpreter since 1993, I began a prestigious career that has seen me translating and interpreting for numerous celebrities and distinguished clients, including His Holiness, John Paul II, the President of the Chamber of the Deputies, Gianfranco Fini, Minister Stefania Prestigiacomo, Minister Angelino Alfano, Minister Roberto Maroni, Mexico's Environment Minister, Juan Elvira, Canada's Justice Minister, Robert Nicholson, Russia's Justice Minister, Alexandr V. Konovalov, the Vice President of the European Commission, Jacques Barrot, the Secretary General of Interpol, Ronald Noble, Senator C.A. Ciampi, Nobel Prize Winner Amartya Sen and Robert De Niro.
