About

15+ years at the intersection of digital strategy and innovation

I'm a senior marketing and digital executive with deep roots in transport, hospitality, and infrastructure. My career spans from building Italo's digital presence from zero to 1.5M followers, to founding Italy's first airport corporate incubator at Aeroporti di Roma, to leading marketing across 105 B&B Hotels in three countries.

Half Italian, half Canadian — internationally minded and used to operating across markets and languages. I've spoken at Google Dublin, Cannes Lions, and IAB Forum. MIT AI, Wharton Blockchain, INSEAD certified.

I also host Digital Stories — a podcast and newsletter on iconic digital companies and transformations, published bi-weekly for a C-level audience on Spotify, Medium and LinkedIn.
