Farewell to Andrea Doglioni Majer
“I find myself having to write the toughest of messages. My father, Andrea Doglioni Majer, passed away on the 22nd of July 2022. I want to give my sincerest condolences to all those he touched and that are lucky to be able to call him a friend, partner, or leader.
We will hold a Celebration of Andrea’s Life on the 4th of August, starting at 19:00. Follow the link for details.
Although we cannot decide how long to live, we can choose how to spend our time. Andrea loved his family, traveled the world, and grew Carimali S.p.A. from a small company to an international one called Vea. But, most impressive, he did all of this with the kindest of hearts and the best of intentions.
Thank you for your condolences, support, and help as we navigate these most challenging times. Tough times never last; a new journey awaits us all.”
