About What I’ve Done

I have built my career at the intersection of culture, technology, and innovation. As the Founder and Director of FUTURE—and recognized as the youngest museum director in the world—I’ve led the creation of an innovative cultural hub focused on immersive installations, digital experiences, and cross-industry collaborations.
My work spans strategic leadership, creative direction, partnership development, and community building.

Beyond FUTURE, I’ve contributed to the global expansion of brands such as ItalWine USA, focusing on business development, market strategy, and international relations. I also support Twiner, where I work on strategic partnerships, product innovation, and brand positioning.

Throughout my roles, I’ve consistently connected creativity, technology, and business—developing ecosystems that bring together artists, institutions, and brands while pushing the boundaries of digital and experiential engagement.

What Type of Job I’m Looking For

I’m seeking roles that allow me to combine strategy, creativity, and innovation, ideally in environments where I can drive new ideas, build partnerships, and lead impactful projects.
The roles I’m most aligned with include:

  • Creative Strategy / Creative Direction
  • Innovation Leadership
  • Business Development & Partnerships
  • Experience Design / Digital Experience Strategy
  • Cultural or Technology Program Leadership
  • Brand Strategy & Narrative Building

I’m particularly interested in organizations working in culture, technology, design, entertainment, experiential spaces, or future-driven industries where I can contribute vision, direction, and execution.
