I grew up in the suburbs, the first in my family to graduate from university and learn English. While I was at university, I created BestMilano.net, a social network designed to bring together people with the drive to make things happen and build connections of real value. The project ended before it could become the business I had envisioned, but the idea behind it has never left me.
Change has shaped more than my career. It has also run through my personal and family life, marked by times of crisis and profound loss. I learned that you can stay standing through the hardest moments and that respect for people matters most in those moments. That is as true in our personal lives as it is in business. And I learned firsthand what it means to be a woman and a mother, to lead a team and hold a family together in a society that was not designed to support a life built this way.
Today I work alongside business leaders, bring these themes to stages and universities, explore them with humor on social media, write, and nurture a social venture of my own. These pursuits may be different, but they are bound by the same thread: helping people, companies, and ideas communicate, create value, and navigate major transformations without losing what makes them unique.
