With over a decade of experience at the intersection of EU policy, innovation, and industrial strategy, I bring a dynamic and insightful moderation style to high‑level European events. As Head of EU Affairs at EIT Manufacturing, I lead strategic initiatives that advance innovation, sustainability, and regional development across member states. I previously served as RIS & EU Operations Manager, where I implemented regional innovation strategies and delivered expert sessions.

My Brussels career began within industry associations where I honed my skills in policy analysis, interest representation, and cross-stakeholder dialogue. I actively contribute to shaping policy and guiding innovation through panel discussions, workshops, and thought leadership sessions on EU funding, manufacturing transformation, and deep technology deployment.

I’m fluent in English and Italian, adept at steering nuanced and inclusive conversations between policymakers, industry leaders, and innovators. Typical moderation topics include:
EU innovation policy and deep tech deployment
Regional development strategies
EU funding instruments and access
Sustainable, advanced manufacturing ecosystems

Glad to bring energy, structure, and audience-focused engagement to your event.
