About

I am a passionate business developer always ready to explore new solutions and technologies, able to improve the quality of life in a building. My experience spans 25 years, especially in interior architecture, lighting design and IoT solutions. I am an enthusiastic traveler and having lived in four different countries has allowed me to gather enormous experience through interpersonal relationships and the exploration of various cultures. I managed several projects as well as client relationships worldwide reaching excellent goals. Today, I combine my solid practice, fascinating background, excellent expertise, extraordinary creativity, uncommon problem solving and passionate teamwork by bringing them into my daily work. I am happy to apply my unique skills and expertise to my profession and to share my optimism and extreme excitement for new challenges.
