What I'm looking for

I seek a role leveraging export, sales and production coordination skills with a client-focused team, international scope, and opportunities to grow markets.

I am an experienced export and sales director who builds and manages relationships between international interior design clients and Italian artisanal manufacturers. I have led Lost in Lights since 2016, coordinating production, quality control and shipments while supporting London-based studios and attending major European and American design fairs.

My background includes export management, customer care, logistics and online sales across lighting, furniture and interior decoration sectors; I have repeatedly developed new markets, prepared quotations, managed orders and invoices, and resolved shipping issues for multilingual clients.

I work fluently in Italian, English, French and Spanish, and bring practical, hands-on oversight of production in glassworks, ceramics and metalwork, combined with a client-focused sales approach and immediate availability in the EU.
