About

Dynamic, enthusiastic and passionate young professional in the digital and transformation area. In the previous years, I've been travelling amongst countries such as Finland, Canada, Ireland and Portugal, France, Spain and Denmark for studying and working, therefore I have a broad international experience in different contexts and a special curiosity for the new and what I don't know. I am flexible, open-minded, curious and entrepreneurial. I am passionate about the world of Retail since I was born and raised in my family's shop and I have a special passion for food, restaurants and cuisine. I have always been fascinated by innovation and technology that disrupts, and lately I am deep diving my experience in the digital area, helping the business drive the digital transformation and change management.
