Summary

I am a results-driven Project Controller with expertise in Business Plan development, holding an MSc in Business Administration from Università Ca’ Foscari of Venice and ETH Zürich. Throughout my career in finance, I have contributed to optimizing business strategies and financial performance across multiple international markets. My professional journey has taken me from Italy to Switzerland, Germany, and now Mexico, providing me with a global perspective on business operations and financial management.

Beyond my corporate experience, I have a strong commitment to sustainability, responsible travel, and social impact. This passion led me to establish Secritaly.com, a platform dedicated to promoting slow and sustainable travel experiences in Italy.
