Vice-President and General Director of EStà (Economia e sostenibilità).
Ecologist and economist, I’m a social innovator. In the past years I led the start-up of several social cooperatives in tourism, social housing, urban regeneration, personal services, agriculture, landscape management, ICT, environmental education, cemetery management. As advisor I contributed to the approval of the Social Enterprise Law in Serbia and I launched two social enterprises in Senegal. I co-founded one of the first private medical center in Milan that provides healthcare at social prices. I have been involved in the Italian social impact investing advisory group for the International Task Force on Social Impact Investments (SIIT G8).
In the past four years I have been writing a monthly column on Social Innovation on Valori, the only Italian magazine dealing with ethical finance, social economy and sustainability. It is owned by Banca Etica, with an editorial staff of both economists and experts of sustainability.
