Former management consultant with an MBA and fluency in French, Italian, and English, I joined Generali Global Procurement in 2018 and have been leading Procurement for Generali Italia since 2023. I bring a strong analytical mindset and high adaptability to dynamic environments. Open to change and diversity, I thrive in multicultural settings and am deeply committed to delivering results.

My procurement philosophy centers on building strong partnerships—with internal stakeholders and external providers—while driving innovation, anticipating needs, and streamlining processes to reduce bureaucracy and enhance agility.
