September 12, 2025 — SDG Group, a global leader in Data and AI consulting, is proud to announce the addition of three talented professionals—Riccardo Pigozzi, Fabio Lavezzo and Stefano Romano—to the growing Snowflake Squad. Their expertise further strengthens the SDG Group’s mission to help organisations unleash the full potential of Snowflake, driving innovation and business transformation.

 

Meet the New Squad Members

Riccardo Pigozzi, Data Engineer at SDG Group, brings expertise in dbt, Snowflake, and Python, while also exploring emerging technologies. An active member of the Snowflake Squad, Riccardo is committed to sharing knowledge and fostering community collaboration.

“I'm eager to connect with fellow Snowflake enthusiasts, to follow a path of continuous learning, and to seize the opportunity of enhancing and sharing my knowledge about Snowflake!”

Fabio Lavezzo, Data Engineer at SDG Group, has extensive experience in data integration, governance, and quality solutions within the Snowflake ecosystem. In addition to his project work, Fabio is an engaged member of the Snowflake Squad and aims to take a more active role in leading sessions and discussions.

“Becoming part of the Snowflake Squad inspires me to stay continuously up to date with the platform’s evolving capabilities and to engage in networking, discovering new perspectives, and potential future developments in the tech world.”

Stefano Romano, Data Engineer at SDG Group, specialszes in Data Architecture and Data Engineering on the Snowflake Platform. Recently, he has focused particularly on performance optimisation, helping organisations unlock greater efficiency and scalability.

“Within the Snowflake Squad, I'm eager to deepen my knowledge on these topics and explore the newest features of the platform to better contribute to the community.”

The addition of these SDGers builds on SDG Group’s expanding Snowflake expertise and community leadership.
