ABOUT ME
Rooted in the unique lands of Italy's Emilia Romagna region, my journey began with a passion for technology and a move to the vibrant city of Milan after my studies. There, at EY, I cultivated a deep expertise in finance, IT and risk management, and business consulting, experiences that took me across the globe, from Washington D.C., Paris and Cyprus to my current home in the UAE.
Holding a degree in Economics and an MBA in Artificial Intelligence, I've always been drawn to learning and education. For over a decade, I've shared my knowledge as a lecturer, teaching Computerized Accounting Systems and Auditing at the School of Economics, Management and Statistics of Bologna, and collaborating with the Catholic University of Milan on Professional Technical courses.
My career is a mix of executive leadership and strategic consulting. As CIO for a multinational UAE organization, I spearheaded global digital strategy and transformation. This experience is complemented by my years at EY and Grant Thornton, where I led technology due diligence, IT integration, data management programs, IT risk management, data protection, and cybersecurity initiatives.
Beyond business and tech, I'm driven by a lifelong love of art. Art, in its myriad forms, has been a constant source of inspiration. I explored this passion through painting courses at the NABA Academy of Fine Arts in Milan and continue to express myself through photography, capturing the essence of places, people, and moments. You can explore some of my favourite pieces in the ART section of this website.
This passion seamlessly blends with my professional life, fuelling my exploration of the digital revolution's current and future impact. This exploration culminated in my book, 'The Enterprise in the Digital Age,' a testament to my commitment to understanding and shaping the future of technology in business.
