My Job

As Managing Director I lead the planning, organisation and execution of UTOPIA EU activities and products, mostly counselling clients on EU public affairs strategy and advocacy campaigns.

Together with the Leadership Team, I contribute to promoting the Company in the Brussels bubble, establishing and managing relations with existing and prospect clients and stakeholders.

My Experience

Despite being a fast-evolving subject that needs constant learning, Working between Brussels and Rome gave me the opportunity to really dive deep in the public affairs world, grasping all relevant aspects of the decision-making process from development to implementation.

As a consultant, I have also been able to develop the necessary hard skills to identify threats and providing suitable solutions, as well as interpersonal qualities that are vital to this job.

My Proudest Achievements

It feels good to look back at the beginning of UTOPIA EU in 2019 and see what we achieved today: 10 employees, more than 25 clients and a lot to accomplish yet.

My Education

Double Master’s degree programme Luiss University – Université Libre de Bruxelles in Public Policies and International Relations.

My Languages

Italian and English.

My Interests outside work

Travelling, basketball and food in no particular order!
