About me

I am passionate about innovative ideas that bring about positive changes and transform the world, and I firmly believe that European project planning is the key to turning these ideas into concrete realities.

🎓 With a PhD in Telecommunications Engineering from the University of Trento, supported by Dartmouth College (USA), I gained experience through research activities in prestigious European universities.

My career took a significant turn in 2015, when I joined Social IT as a Project Manager responsible for a research and innovation project funded by the European Commission. This initial experience marked the beginning of my journey in European project planning and the development of a vast and diverse network of collaborations 🤝.

💡 Over the years, I had the privilege of founding and leading the Research and Innovation Department at Social IT, coordinating a team of experts in European and national project design. Our expertise allows us to offer high-level consultancy services, facilitating access to funding and supporting the implementation of innovative projects.

🚀 Leading the Research and Innovation area means transforming bold visions into concrete realities, exploring new paths towards the future, and ensuring a sustainable competitive advantage.
