About

Senior executive with over a decade of experience at LinkedIn (Microsoft), where I led multinational corporate partnerships and, subsequently, institutional business relationships focused on digital transformation, workforce development, and public-sector innovation, acting as a trusted point of reference for government and public institutions in Italy. Today I am CEO of PalComm and La Sicilia ADV. PalComm is the media sales and advertising company of Palella Communications, tasked with the commercial development of the Palella Holdings Group’s media assets, including La Sicilia — Sicily’s leading media company, with a daily newspaper, digital platforms and television. Through La Sicilia ADV we coordinate regional advertising sales across our full editorial ecosystem, and we operate as a strategic partner for major brands, agencies and media centres on regional, national and international projects. PalComm also interconnects innovative international brands with the best Italian partners across media, sport and technology, brokering major commercial deals and partnerships between national and international players. I also serve on the Advisory Board of La Sicilia, supporting the group’s strategic, technological and editorial evolution.
