Patrizia Berto

PharmD

Principal

Pisa, ITALY

The number π (/paɪ/; spelled out as "pi") is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter; it appears in many formulas across mathematics and physics and it is also found in formulae from other topics in science, such as cosmology, fractals, thermodynamics, mechanics, and electromagnetism. π is an irrational number (its decimal representation never ends, nor enters a permanently repeating pattern). The ubiquity of π makes it one of the most widely known mathematical constants inside and outside of science. Being the “solution” to many “problems” π for me represents consulting at its best: providing solutions to our customers’ most difficult problems has always been the inspiring principle all throughout my career and the source of the best satisfactions I had in over 30 years in the health technology industry.
