About Me

but honestly…I’ve never liked to write about me.

The thing is I don't know how my story can be useful to you.
But hey, let's do it anyway...

If you are curious here’s a very brief timeline of mine. 

I am not into “personal branding” so I am not going to distort reality just to show you a good-looking story about me. 

1982: Born in Milan

1996: Studied Classical High-School

2001-2006: Studied Economic and Management at Bocconi University 

2005: Spent 4 months (aug-dec) studying in India at Indian Institute of Management. Loved every minute. 

2006: Back to India for my final thesis. I didn’t have any interest in my thesis. I honestly just made a thesis that would allow me to go back to India. 

2007: I join a tech startup in Milan for three months. Learned absolutely zero, the company eventually failed. 

2007: first time visiting Silicon Valley. 

2008: I work at a publishing house in Milan for about 1 year. Interesting but the 2008 crisis hit and companies stop spending money on advertising and the company let go some people. I was among those. 

2009: along with some friends, I started the first Italian chapter of The Hub, an international network of people and spaces for social innovation and social entrepreneurship. Absolutely loved it. We quickly grew a strong community around us and got featured in every major Italian publication and newspaper. 

2012: while the project was doing well, among the three of us founders we have different opinions and ideas about the future of The Hub. I sold my (very little) shares.

2012: Moved to Berlin for a few months and essentially started freelancing. 

2014: I am now back in Milan and have become father to two twins girls.
