About

Over a decade of experience makes me a versatile and passionate Tanker Chartering Manager. Skilled in planning, trading, and implementing charter parties for the international tankers' market. Bilingual (Italian/English), with strong commercial, negotiation, and analytical skills, combined with a high ability to work under pressure. Although I am self-motivated, I also find pleasure in working in a team and consider myself an exceptional team player. Additionally, I believe that engaging in dialogue with coworkers is important because confronting different points of view often leads to the best solutions. I possess both emotional intelligence and critical thinking abilities. To bring the most value to the team, a good team player must be aware of these skills.
