   When CGXchange was officially launched at the CGIAR's Annual General Meeting in Morocco at the end of 2005, Dario Valori was in the audience to witness the culmination of more than two years' hard work involving several ICT-KM projects and numerous members of staff.
   ...
   Dario became involved in the project as the result of his earlier experience in document management, collaboration tools and videoconferencing at the Italian Center, where he has been IT Manager since 1998.
   ...
   Prior to joining IPGRI, Dario spent 15 years with the U.S. Government in the Computer Department of the US Embassy in Rome.For several years, he also worked as a consultant developing database applications.He is especially proud of the work he did for the Vatican State: developing a database that was later published on the Internet.
   
   Although the commitments of a fulltime job and the demands of his role as project coordinator have drawn heavily on his time, this dynamic man has also participated in a number of knowledge management events both inside and outside the CGIAR in the last few years.
   
   "Due to these events, I have acquired a sound understanding of the difficulties of knowledge communication, something that has helped me greatly with my work," he says.
   
   When in Rome, do as the Romans do.A familiar saying indeed, but few would be able to keep up with the busy schedule that Dario has maintained over the past few years.
   
   When he has some downtime, he regularly pulls on his running shoes and goes for a jog on the beach.But his greater enjoyment comes from his mountain hikes - the ideal antidote for those days when he needs a break from all that communicating.
   
   Away from the office, he appreciates the time he spends with his wife Ana Isabel and fifteen-year-old son Alessandro.With such a frenetic-paced professional life, it helps to able to come home to a supportive family at the end of the day.
   
   Although CGXchange continues to be developed, Dario is looking forward to the day when he can devote more time to his family and his duties as IT Manager.
   
   Working nine-to-five must be an almost alien concept that he will have to get used to all over again.
   ...
   Dario taught me everything about the ICT-KM's Virtual Resources Center Infrastructure (VRCI) project, which was responsible for developing and implementing the technology behind CGXchange.

   Dario Valori, IPGRI's IT Manager and the coordinator of the CGXchange Project, kept the momentum going by taking the CGXchange road show to Mexico, where the System-wide intranet/extranet was launched at CIMMYT.
   
   Still on the subject of CGXchange, three Centers have adopted the technology behind the platform (Aqualogic) to redesign their respective Internet and intranet sites.
