Profile
I’m a result-driven Project and Program Manager with high ability to deal among complexity and innovation.
As Program Manager of Expo 2015 I was responsible to deliver on time and within budget a 1.5 billion € project but I also actively worked at organizational level to develop the NewCo (Expo 2015 S.p.A.) founded to manage the project. I’m a different thinker and I always look for an innovative approach to solve problems. To plan
and control the Expo program I defined a unique Visual Management methodology that gave the possibility to clearly communicate to hundreds of stakeholders, control thousands of activities on site and forecast risks with a simple tool and a small team.
I developed the skill for high-level relationship both on institutional and corporate side and to work in multicultural and destructured environment.
