Born in a small town next to Venice in Italy, on 24/09/1981, I mastered my college degree as building surveyor. I moved to Poland a first time when still a student, where I completed a European exchange university program in international relations studies and where first time I realized the challenge between warming up due to the temperatures and maintaining air quality sufficiently clean.
I completed my degree in economy and finance (Bachelor of Economic Science) from one of the nation’s top economic schools at Ca Foscari University of Venice. I hold a master of environment and renewable energies from IUSC, University of Barcelona.

Dublin was the city where I composed my first graduation thesis about the newborn European environmental trading system meanwhile participating in local startups and environmental agency. It was Poland the country where I made my first professional experiences, from 2006 to 2009, just as IT specialist at Capgemini and then as part of the group accountant controller at Motorola Electronics. Then, after getting one of those turning points in life where someone spend time reflecting what to do with existence, I decided to move to Barcelona and finally mastering environment and renewable energies.

There, middle 2009, during the deepest phase of economic depression of Spain, I have been capable enough to work for Colt Telecoms as IT analyst and technical specialist. During my permanence in Barcelona I got in contact with professionals from energy sectors involved in different projects, from Europe and south America, where Chilean also. Until 2011, I worked for the Barcelona municipality as energy analyst for a project of energy efficiency.

Completed my graduation thesis regarding the historical relationships between human beings and the different natural resources along the time, I decided to use my knowledge and moving to south America to "explore" opportunities.
