What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities to develop international markets, lead commercial negotiations, build client and partner relationships, and contribute strategic, hands-on business growth in complex global environments.

At Rete Ufficio Estero, I develop international business, manage key accounts, negotiate offers and contracts, and oversee exports for client companies across industrial sectors.

Previously, at Contardi Lighting, I developed markets across Europe, the Americas, Asia, Oceania, and Africa for lighting collections and custom contract projects. I coordinated representative agencies, managed client relationships, handled the order-to-offer cycle, logistics, export documentation, claims, and marketing activities.

My experience also includes growing corporate client portfolios and managing groups and events at Quality Hotel San Martino, alongside front-desk and hospitality operations.

I work fluently across Italian, German, English, Spanish, Russian, French, and Portuguese. My background in interpreting, negotiation, leadership, sustainability, and film acting helps me communicate persuasively, build relationships, and coordinate stakeholders in complex international environments.
