I am a researcher and an entrepreneur passionate about law and economics, international politics and manufacturing value chains.

I graduated in Juridical Science at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan and in International Relations at Harvard University. I am joining Bocconi University's PhD in Business and Social Law from A.Y. 2026–2027. I am a Research Affiliate to the Industrial Performance Center at MIT and a Research Fellow at the Cañada-Blanch Centre of the London School of Economics and Political Science and at the Program of Corporate Law and Policy of the New York University School of Law.

I co-founded Italia Innovation: an independent organization specialized in bridging academic and business excellence to support the advancement of the Italian political and economic landscape.
