I am a telecommunications engineer and the passion for technology led me to start my professional career as a software developer in the telecommunications sector.
Curiosity and the constant desire to learn have always pushed me to explore new areas, participating in software development, firmware development, and industrial automation projects in diverse contexts.
Such an experience has stimulated my ability to find creative solutions to business challenges and customer needs.
The executive course at the Politecnico di Milano School of Management enhanced my competences with a new way of looking at innovation and business development.
