I earned my PhD in Physics from the Polytechnic University of Turin, where I also started the career as a researcher working in public and private organisations in Italy, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and France.
I progressively evolved towards project management, grant writing and funding management, and since more than 10 years I accompanied numerous R&D&I projects with a clear focus on disruptive innovation and sustainability themes.

I completed my MSc at the University of Turin and immediately moved to the private sector. I spent 2 years working in Iceland, where the culture of sustainable innovation is crucial. After that, I evolved into patent analysis and observed a trend toward more sustainable green chemistry practices in the pharmaceutical industry. Today, I want to support this trend and help industrial leaders connect with each other for a greener future.

I earned my PhD in Chemistry and Biology from the University of Grenoble and Florence. This career experience taught me the importance of collaboration to achieve great results. Since then, I have worked in innovation, defining the go-to-market strategy for several innovations in life science. My goal is to encourage life science research to become conscious of its environmental impact and promote sustainability in Europe.
