What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead data products and AI initiatives that scale responsibly in regulated environments—turning complex technical work into roadmap-ready, measurable outcomes. I thrive in cross-functional teams, with strong stakeholder alignment and data governance built in.

I’m a Physics PhD with over six years of experience in complex systems, mathematical modeling, and data-driven problem-solving. I’m known for translating technical concepts into strategic, stakeholder-ready, data-driven solutions.

Across international research collaborations in Italy, the UK, the USA, and Japan, I’ve managed deliverables, roadmaps, and strategy adjustments based on experimental feedback. My work produced 5+ peer-reviewed publications, supported insights used by 10+ researchers, and I’ve converted complex ideas into 10+ presentations for diverse audiences.

Now I’m transitioning into data product management and AI leadership, building toward scalable, impactful technologies that deliver measurable results within regulated environments. I’ve already seen impact—cutting grading time by 74% and saving over £200k for universities—while also optimizing industrial simulations by 20%.
