Raised in Italy, I have followed my curiosity for language and people and have now spent almost half of my life in Berlin, a city I call my home.
I am used to working in an international environment but I also have made the experience of being the only foreigner in a team of locals: Leading people and projects I have learnt that you can overcome prejudice if you stay committed, speak up and follow through.
What I liked about working in a corporate environment was the fast pace of decision making; what I didn’t like was the widespread assumption that leading people just consists in „passing on instructions“. I concluded that there must be a sane way to lead and co-create in a collaborative, appreciative and yet efficient way.
In my coaching and mediation work I am committed to helping my clients stand up for themselves and build healthy and sustainable relationships.
As to my passion for language, I am married to an Argentinian and love to explore different cultural and linguistic spaces. Conflict is sometimes the side effect of this discovery journey, that’s why I have made it my calling to help people address their conflicts with curiosity, confidence and opennes.
