About me

Where institutions, innovation and strategy come together

Throughout my career I have worked across government, Parliament, international organizations, multi-stakeholder forums and entrepreneurial initiatives. This allows me to interpret the digital sphere not only as technology, but as a lever for transformation, positioning, regulation, partnerships and development.

Today I make this experience available to those facing complex issues such as artificial intelligence, digital transformation, institutional relations, strategic planning, funding and public calls.

My approach

Areas where I create value

AI governance

I support organizations and decision-makers in the responsible adoption of artificial intelligence, across compliance, accountability, risk and organizational impact. I help build robust internal frameworks and navigate the European and international regulatory landscape, from the AI Act to OECD guidelines.

Digital transformation

I work on innovation and modernization processes with a focus on organization, skills, services and data governance. I translate strategic vision into concrete, measurable and sustainable pathways, drawing on direct experience in both public and private settings.

Advocacy and institutional relations

I help organizations understand the public context, build qualified relationships and develop credible paths across policy, stakeholders and institutions. I bring the ability to work effectively across Parliament, government, European bodies and international forums.

Funding, public calls and strategic planning

I turn ideas and priorities into structured initiatives, solid partnerships and financeable pathways, with direct experience across public, European and private funding. From vision to operational project design, from application to execution and reporting.

Credibility

A path built through direct experience

I have held government roles focused on innovation and digital transformation, worked in international contexts on AI governance and digital rights, led a nationally recognized forum within the UN sphere, and developed entrepreneurial initiatives that allow me to bring not only vision and policy expertise, but also the ability to build, execute and deliver growth.
