Summary

"Men will always pick up apples that fall to the ground, rather than struggling to get the best ones from the top."
(William Shakespeare)

The professional path arises from the desire to explore and improve one's own life and that of others, starting from family ties.
This desire is combined at a young age with strong emotions generated by the many references to fantastic characters, super heroes, myths and imaginary legends of the time, which arouse a passion for sports competitions, communication with the world and overcoming one's own limits.

These emulations form an enterprising and determined character, with a pragmatic and creative personality, and an attitude predisposed to research and change.

I can describe as skilled in tackling assigned task whit deep energy and determination. The main key selling points are in problem solving, team motivation and support of company projects. I always act for a common business purpose in a Win Win formula.

High achieving strategical focus and commercial driving. Excellent communication skills, acute emotional intelligence and mindset & mindfulness methods are the basis of continuous introspective and extrospective growth, the learning of new skills and the implementation of projects with a high socio-economic profile.
