I grew up in Arezzo, a small city in Tuscany. My family had clear values around work and
responsibility, and those stayed with me. You're expected to put the effort in, take things
seriously, and not complain about it. That's just how things were.
One summer, before university, I spent two months working on a farm outside Arezzo with a
local farmer. Early starts, long hours, physical work. No shortcuts, no exceptions. It was one
of the most grounding experiences I've had. You come away with a different understanding of the
value of money, and a genuine respect for people who do that kind of work every day.
I moved to London to study international business at the University of Greenwich. I graduated
with a First Class Honours. While I was there, I co-founded two student societies, led a real
market entry for a food-tech startup, won two business competitions back-to-back, and delivered
a full consultancy project for Enterprise Mobility.
I'm now starting an MSc in Economics and Strategy for Business at Imperial College London in
September 2026. I'm drawn to strategy, investments, and the early stages of building things.
I tend to get on with the work rather than talk about it.
