Summary

After more than 25 years in the European industry, I now support companies, public institutions and startups in moments where clarity, growth, recovery or simply a new pace is needed.

I integrate advanced skills in negotiation, conflict management, and AI-driven business transformation.

I am hands-on and speak the language of operations, not that of consultants: I bring concrete tools, active listening, and extensive experience in managing operations and relationships.

My fluency in multiple languages and cultures enables me to effectively work with both Italian and international clients, suppliers and stakeholders.
