I am passionate about many things but two of them especially: public policy and technological innovation. As a university professor and policy advisor, my life-long commitment is to work in the intersection between these two areas. I am certain that, with the right policy framework, the digital transformation can bring positive change in all corners of the world.

I also like to engage directly with activities on the ground and I believe that practical experience is the best way to provide wise and relevant policy advice. In 2015, I founded FabLab Western Sicily, a social project aimed at promoting creative learning in Sicilian schools through digital fabrication. In addition, in 2017, I co-founded a start-up offering 3D printing solutions for dentists, for which I was listed in Forbes 30 Under 30 list for Science and Healthcare.

Last but not least, I am an incurable globe-trotter. I love travelling as much as I love living in new countries and diving into their culture. In the past 15 years, I lived in Sweden, Spain, Thailand, Belgium, Brazil, Germany, the United States and the United Kingdom, while always remaining connected to my home country, Italy.
