I have a very diversified background in different fields; business innovation assessment, teaching, forest engineering, sales and have travelled extensively, which has given me huge experience in understanding the importance of adaptability and communicating effectively. 

I speak fluent Italian, some French and Gaelic (Irish). 

I enjoy reading, sea kayaking, hiking, fishing and fathering my two wonderful kids.
