Where I spent my childhood / talk through map of cities you’ve lived in

I grew up in Venice (Italy), the uniqueness of which I didn’t fully appreciate until I left. I moved to London (UK) at the age of 16 to finish school and then to Oxford (UK) to study for my undergraduate degree. After graduation, I lived in Milan (briefly) and again in London for six years. The first US city I lived in was Philadelphia, where I moved to pursue my MBA.

My favorite book

“But How Do It Know?” By J Clark Scott. This book, to me, epitomizes the principle of “everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler”, which I strive to live by.

Fun fact about me

I have a black belt in karate! (Shotokan)

Where you’ll find me on a Saturday morning

Playing golf, tennis or squash – always trying to get a little better.

Family matters

Family is really important to me. I have two brothers and a twin sister and we were all born within 2.5 years – we are very close, not just in age! Now that we are scattered all over the world we try to spend most holidays together.
