Summary
Since 2015, I have thrived in the fast-paced world of the sports business industry, sharpening my skills in marketing, negotiation, networking, and strategic problem-solving. Living and working between North America and Europe has given me invaluable cross-cultural experience, allowing me to navigate diverse markets with adaptability and insight. Fluent in English, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese, I bridge language and cultural gaps, fostering strong relationships and successful partnerships. I am driven by the challenge of setting high-impact goals, anticipating obstacles, and crafting innovative solutions.
My ability to observe, negotiate, and connect with customers and key stakeholders has been instrumental in helping companies reach agreements, resolve conflicts, and drive collaboration. With a strong network and a strategic mindset, I am committed to leadership, business growth, and creating opportunities that push both clients and organizations toward success.
