I am an international CEO, Board Advisor and Operating Partner helping entrepreneurial, multinational and investor-backed companies turn strategic ambition into growth, transformation, stronger governance and measurable value creation. I work best in moments of strategic transition, when companies need to scale, relaunch, enter new markets, strengthen their operating model, improve profitability, prepare for M&A or fundraising, and help boards make better strategic decisions. My career spans CEO, Managing Director, Sales Director, Business Unit Director, Board Member and Board Advisor roles, with full ownership of strategy, business development, operations, governance, P&L and execution across technology, fintech, digital payments, marketplaces, sustainability, biomedical, consumer goods and luxury, in Italy and 35 international markets. Across industries and ownership models, I have helped organizations move from potential to performance: building Eco Lab into a profitable growth platform, restoring momentum at Nexi/SIA, turning around Nokiaโ€™s Middle East and Africa business unit, improving profitability at Unisys and scaling Logicaโ€™s Italian subsidiary from the ground up. Alongside executive leadership, I work at the intersection of governance, innovation and value creation. As a Nedcommunity member and POLIMI Graduate School of Management lecturer, I help translate board effectiveness, AI governance, cyber risk and digital transformation into practical frameworks, business cases and actionable tools for boards and executive teams. I believe innovation creates value only when it translates into strategy, execution discipline, profitable growth and better board-level decisions. Letโ€™s connect if you are an entrepreneur, investor, board member or executive interested in growth, value creation, digital transformation or AI governance.

  • Nedcommunity (9 mos)
    • Reflection Group Artificial Intelligence, Cyber, Digital Innovation e Governance
      Mar 2026 - Present ยท 5 mos

      The Reflection Group was created to bring digital innovation, AI, and cyber risk to the heart of governance. It is not just a study group, it is a place where directors are called to make a shift in mindset, from observers of change to drivers of change. Its purpose is clear: to help boards and statutory auditors better understand risks, seize new opportunities, and lead the digital transformation of companies with greater awareness and effectiveness. In one sentence: to make digital a core part of governance decisions, not a side issue.
