What I'm looking for

I’m looking to continue building my career in the Defence sector, combining analytical and engineering skills with operational expertise in complex international environments.

At MBDA S.p.A., I coordinate specialised technical training programmes for armed forces across 20+ nations. I support offer development and project scoping, and work with institutional clients and Tier-1 industrial partners across the European defence landscape.

At Bluenext S.r.l., I progressed from Project Manager to Business Development Manager. I managed the full commercial cycle for enterprise accounts, including Brunello Cucinelli and Cefla, and developed a strategic client portfolio contributing to an annual commercial target of approximately €1M.

My background is in biomedical engineering, with degrees from the University of Bologna and the Polytechnic University of Turin. I’ve oriented my career toward the Defence sector, combining engineering and analytical skills with programme delivery, commercial execution and cross-functional coordination.
