Based in Milan · Como
Second-year student at Bocconi University, interested in strategy, finance, law, and entrepreneurship. I focus on understanding problems through the numbers, the people, the incentives, and the wider system in which decisions are made.
About
I am a second-year BSc student in International Economics & Finance at Bocconi University, Milan, expected to graduate in summer 2028. My academic record reflects genuine commitment: a GPA of 30.44/31, including four 30 cum laude, two 30/30 and one 29/30.
My background spans medtech distribution, real estate project coordination, and business development at Dawn Advisory, Bocconi's student consulting association, where I lead the Italy and Switzerland market. I build things (an AI-assisted lead-sourcing system, a career-preparation platform, a modernised business-planning model) and find that the most interesting problems sit at the intersection of rigorous analysis and real-world application.
I'm particularly interested in strategy consulting, finance, law, and entrepreneurship, and I try to bring the same structured thinking and rigorous execution to all of them. One idea that shapes how I look at business problems is sub-optimisation: the way improving one part of a system can quietly weaken the whole. It pushes me toward an integrated, long-term view rather than isolated fixes.
Alongside that analytical side, I put real weight on the leadership and communication principles associated with Dale Carnegie: building trust, understanding what actually motivates people, and creating outcomes that work for everyone involved rather than leading through authority alone. Across academic, professional, and independent projects, I try to combine rigor and reliability with the flexibility to adapt quickly, communicate clearly, and hold my own in demanding team environments.
Outside of work, I played competitive football until last year, reaching Italy's Promozione level, and have since become a self-taught triathlete training for an Ironman 70.3: a deliberate shift from a team sport to one that depends entirely on individual discipline.

Dawn Advisory is Bocconi's student consulting association, delivering real, paid consulting work for clients ranging from pre-seed startups to established firms across Italy, Switzerland, Germany and France, rather than case-study simulations. It runs as two departments: Development, which finds, pitches and prices every project, and Consulting, which delivers it once the deal is signed.
I joined through a full recruiting process (two essays, CV screening, a case interview and a board interview) and finished first in the ranking. Instead of the usual onboarding, I was assigned straight onto a live project, The Circle, because of my people skills. My job there wasn't analytical: it was convincing restaurant and chef owners who had no reason to trust a group of students to take part, and I converted around thirty of them into active participants, one relationship at a time.
As a Senior Associate in Development, I lead the Italy and Switzerland market and run the two-week cycle that brings in every paid project our consultants deliver: researching and shortlisting target firms, reaching out by email, LinkedIn, calls and in person, pitching the project, setting the price and reviewing results before handoff to Consulting. I designed that process, and I run it.
I designed and built the AI-assisted lead-sourcing system that now powers the first two phases of the cycle. Claude Opus writes the research briefs and Claude Sonnet executes them, generating roughly 30 leads a week and a shortlist of 15 that receive tailored outreach and pitches across Switzerland, Italy, Germany/Austria, France and the UK. I also rebuilt the underlying CRM schema that tracks every lead from first source through Consulting handoff.
The Circle taught me how to win people over one conversation at a time; Development taught me how to turn that into a system other people can run. The same pipeline now doubles as our training ground: new members ramp from pro-bono-level projects up to the paid, multi-market outreach, pitching and pricing work I run day to day. Going from doing this by hand to building the thing that does it is the progression I'm proudest of.

Jan 2026 — Apr 2026 · Milan, Italy
The Circle is a private HNW-client programme linking financial institutions, premium brands and more than 100 restaurants and chefs across Italy: an invitation-only experience blending curated hospitality with genuine access to restaurants, chefs, and venues typically reserved for members. My work sat behind the scenes of that experience, securing and coordinating the relationships, particularly with restaurants and chefs across Italy, that made each stop feel effortless, while keeping client communications and expectations aligned throughout the programme.
Much of the work followed a consulting rhythm: real client-facing projects built and communicated primarily through PowerPoint, using think-cell and Efficient Elements to structure data, timelines, and recommendations the way a strategy team would. It meant getting comfortable translating messy, in-progress work into a clear, decision-ready narrative for people with very little time to read it.
Working in a high-end, relationship-driven environment sharpened my attention to detail and taught me how much of client satisfaction comes down to anticipating needs before they're voiced. That's a lesson that now shapes how I approach any project involving external stakeholders.
Summer 2025 & 2026 · New Jersey, USA & Tenerife, Spain
Anima Development is a family-owned real estate developer, run by my uncles, built around two models: buying homes to renovate and flip, and buying homes to fix up and rent out. The portfolio holds more than 30 properties, each under its own separate LLC rather than one holding structure. I've worked there across two summers, in New Jersey and, remotely with two on-site visits, in Tenerife, Spain, and was re-engaged for a second internship after the first.
I didn't walk in with any real estate background. I started hands-on, working construction alongside my uncle on an actual renovation site, picking up the basics from someone who'd done it for decades. At that stage the value I brought wasn't expertise; it was showing up and being useful. The analytical side came later, as I learned it.
I coordinated budgets and materials procurement for renovation projects, tracking material availability against site priorities and balancing cost, timing and operational constraints. I tracked costs and materials for the tiling of an entire villa in Towaco, NJ, and supported a full bathroom renovation, evaluating contractor alternatives (ruling out the excessive ones) and keeping the project on timeline. I coordinated on-site work with contractors across several smaller side-projects, including insulation, antirust paint, and sheetrock paneling, which gave me a genuinely hands-on sense of how a renovation actually runs from within. I also built Excel models, including in YNAB, to help assess vehicle-related tax deductions and the profitability of specific estates.
I contributed to the evaluation behind the sale of a villa in Tenerife for $600K, bought for $360K (a gain of roughly 65%), assessing zoning compliance, neighborhood dynamics, and cashflow. I also assisted with El Perenquén, a $1.5M, six-apartment villa in Puerto de la Cruz: supporting renovation planning, helping think through unit differentiation (a penthouse versus more budget-conscious units, to match different buyer segments), and helping build a website to showcase 10 Tenerife properties and give the portfolio more visibility. Throughout, I managed property data across Lodgify and Excel to support the family's rent-versus-sell decisions.
This was my first real exposure to how a rent-versus-sell decision actually gets made, and to cost and time budgeting under a real contractor timeline rather than a theoretical one. I got practical experience with property management through Lodgify and Excel, and hands-on time on an actual worksite, seeing how renovation decisions ripple into a property's numbers. I didn't have decision-making authority on these calls, and I'm upfront about that; what I gained was a close, repeated view of how those decisions get made and what they weigh.

Innova HTS is a boutique medtech distributor selling 40+ products in the hemodynamics field. It finds promising startups and established companies abroad with strong products, such as the Tricvalve transcatheter valve, imports them, and sells them into Italian hospitals and private clinics. The business runs in three steps: finding and vetting the product, import and temperature-controlled storage, and on-site sales. The first was mainly the CEO's call; I worked mostly in the second and third.
In the office, I used Excel and accounting principles to manage inventory across multiple temperature-controlled deposits and invoicing for orders arriving weekly and monthly from hospitals and clinics across Italy, improving how usable and accurate that data was for internal reporting.
Beyond the office, a meaningful part of the internship happened on the road. I visited the administrative offices of several hospitals across Northern Italy, including San Raffaele, San Luigi Gonzaga in Orbassano, and Istituto Ortopedico Galeazzi, sitting in on conversations with chief doctors and with Innova's own sales agents to see how a medtech distributor actually sells into a hospital system: who makes the decision, what they care about, and how technical and commercial arguments need to work together.
During my time there, a unique valve product accounting for roughly 40% of the company's revenue was acquired by an American company. The business had to manage the transition and diversify its revenue so the loss wouldn't hit too hard. I assisted the lawyers through the resulting contract process and sat through a three-hour course on how contracts are formed in exactly that kind of situation.
This was my first professional experience in a technical, medtech setting, and it showed me how much value careful, well-organised data work adds even outside of finance. It's a mindset I carried directly into the business-planning model I later modernised. Sitting in hospital administrative offices also gave me an early, direct look at how clinical and commercial priorities meet in a real sale, and the acquisition showed me how quickly a single product can become a company-level risk.

I spent the past year modernising a business-planning tool my grandfather, a bank CEO, first built in Excel and VBA in the early 2000s. I translated it, rebuilt its tax engine for the current Italian tax code, and did that working alongside AI tools rather than typing every formula by hand: learning as I went, but owning every decision about what the model should actually do. It's live, and I use it for real forecasting.
Taking over a model someone else built, rather than starting from a blank sheet, forced me to understand every assumption before changing it, and to think like both the builder and the end user: where formulas break, what a non-technical reader actually needs to see, and how to make a 3-year forecast something people trust rather than just a wall of numbers.

JobLedge is a self-paced career-preparation platform I designed, built with AI assistance, and keep expanding. It lets you practise 13 finance and consulting roles instead of just reading about them, and is designed for eventual use by firms training their own interns and analysts. I started it because I kept finding gaps in how people my age actually get ready for these roles.

This memorandum was built as an advocacy exercise on behalf of Beta Ltd, a UK consulting firm, in a dispute against Alfa GmbH, a German technology startup. Under a Non-Disclosure Agreement, Beta had produced proprietary market research for Alfa's mobile app; Alfa then used and publicly displayed that research in an investor presentation. The task was to construct a full case theory from the facts: pinpoint every clause breached, dismantle each defense Alfa could raise, and put a credible number on the harm.
Damages were quantified from first principles using industry-standard consulting benchmarks, including estimated team size, role mix, and salary bands, to reach an actual-loss figure of roughly €184,600, plus an equitable loss-of-profit claim of €175,000–€400,000 based on a conservative estimate of forfeited future engagements. The memorandum closes by requesting a declaration of liability, both heads of damages, and an injunction barring Alfa from any further use of the compromised presentation.

A full company analysis of NVIDIA built with five teammates for a Management course field project, tracing the firm from its 1993 founding through its rise to become the world's most valuable company. The report combines strategic analysis, a corporate governance review, a financial performance study benchmarked against industry averages, and a forward-looking assessment of NVIDIA's macroeconomic exposure.
Using PESTEL and Porter's Five Forces, we assessed how NVIDIA competes on differentiation and ecosystem control rather than cost, pairing high-performance GPUs with proprietary software (CUDA) to lock in developers. The industry shows high barriers to entry, considerable supplier power concentrated in TSMC, comparatively limited buyer power despite marquee clients like Microsoft and OpenAI, and intense rivalry with AMD and Intel.
We reviewed the composition of NVIDIA's 13-member board (12 independent directors) and its three standing committees (Audit, Compensation, and Nominating & Corporate Governance), along with the equity ownership requirements that tie director and executive pay to long-term performance. The main structural concern we flagged is that the Chair and CEO roles are both held by Jensen Huang, which concentrates power and could slow the board's response in a downturn.
We benchmarked NVIDIA's profitability, liquidity, and leverage against industry averages using ratio analysis (ROA, ROE, asset turnover, current and quick ratios, debt/equity). Across the board, NVIDIA outperformed its peers by a wide margin, with strong liquidity, historically low leverage, and profitability ratios several multiples above the industry, while we also noted that its very low debt load leaves some financial-leverage upside unexploited.
The final section assessed how U.S. tariffs, dollar strength, and export controls on China (roughly 13% of NVIDIA's revenue) affect the company, and proposed strategic responses: diversifying into markets like India, Japan, and Korea, adjusting invoicing currency to manage exchange-rate exposure, and continued policy engagement to keep semiconductors exempt from tariff escalation.
