CV

Professional Summary

Since the age of 13, I have been bringing ideas to life—ranging from a subscription-based trash collection service in my neighborhood to tourist boat excursions and a video tutorial app for iOS. These early ventures, coupled with lessons from both successes and failures, have driven my passion for pursuing opportunities that challenge me to grow, innovate, and build impactful solutions


With a Laurea cum laude in Economics and Business Administration and a Master of Science in Innovation Management, Entrepreneurship and Sustainability & Master in Technology Economics, I have spent the last 6 years in a fast-paced tech environment, from building my venture and leading a team up to 12 people, holding advisory positions at tech-based startups and support them scale from 6 to 60 people in 2 years.

I specialize in Innovation Strategy, where I blend technology (AI, Web3, AR, VR), business, and science to create solutions that drive growth and resilience. I bring a unique combination of skills in investor relations, including organizing private events, preparing impactful reports, and ensuring document readiness to build trust and transparency. I am equally adept at supporting founders and creative communities, offering strategic guidance, mentorship, and operational support to foster thriving ecosystems.

My passion for arts and hospitality inspired me to co-organize Europe’s first NFT Festival, Rare Effect Vol. 2, and to establish Muro, a platform bridging the gap between digital artists and commercial venues. Through Muro, I’ve gained firsthand experience in connecting diverse stakeholders, organizing immersive events, and supporting artists, creators, and collectives in leveraging technology to access new markets and grow their impact.

I am comfortable alternating

    •    Teamwork and independent work
   •    Leadership and operational execution
   •    Deep focus and multitasking
   •    Creativity with a pragmatic, detail-oriented approach
