Profile
I am a final-year BEM student at Bocconi University, building my career at the intersection of finance, strategy, and technology entrepreneurship — with academic and professional experience across Italy, the United States, Canada, and Switzerland.
I have interned at Generali Italia as a Business Analyst and at Stelinvest (Chiasso) as an Investment Analyst supporting UHNW client portfolios. My academic track includes an exchange semester at York University's Schulich School of Business and a Yale Financial Markets course with Honors under Nobel laureate Robert Shiller.
Alongside my studies, I am developing Dry Paper — a startup focused on next-generation thermal and acoustic insulation panels — and I continue to compete as a high-level athlete, representing Bocconi Sport Team and formerly York University's swim team.

Venture
Dry Paper is a startup developing next-generation thermal and acoustic insulation panels for the modern construction and renovation industry — at the intersection of materials innovation, sustainability, and smart building.
Founded during my studies at Bocconi, the project is built on the conviction that insulation technology has been underserved by real innovation, and that there is a significant market opportunity in delivering performance-first, design-conscious solutions to both residential and commercial segments.
Currently in the early development phase: defining product architecture, validating technology, and building the initial network of industry partners and investors.
Traditional insulation materials offer poor performance-to-footprint ratios and lack adaptability to contemporary architectural needs.
High-performance thermal and acoustic panels engineered for precision, ease of installation, and design compatibility — a new standard for building envelopes.
To become the reference brand for premium insulation in the European market, starting from Italy's renovation-driven construction sector.
