Italy is home, it is where I have my roots and favorite memories. Yet growing up, even my favorite dishes left me metaphorically "hungry." Home was cozy, but limiting.

Arriving at Yale University changed everything. I was sure I’d become a scientist, but I ended up spending more time at the startup center than in the lab. I first co-founded and ran Clevrnet, a freelancing platform connecting early-stage startups with freelancers in colleges and professional schools. I then co-founded Havenly Treats, a thriving social enterprise kitchen on a mission to help refugee and immigrant women prosper and shape their communities. And in between, I poured over biochemistry textbooks and graduated magna cum laude double majoring in Molecular Biology and Economics.

Working full-time at McKinsey after college, I learned how to be a trusted partner to operators. I advised clients across software, healthcare and a variety of other industries on functional topics such as marketing, sales, and growth strategy.

All of these experiences have led to my work at Insight, where I get to roll up my sleeves and be part of the company-building journey from the beginning. After almost a decade in the United States, I am now coming full circle back in Europe, in London, where I have the privilege of spending most of my time with great European entrepreneurs.
