With over 20 years of experience managing innovation projects and investments for companies, I specialise in identifying the right co-funding instruments—whether public or private—crafting compelling project proposals, organising resources, and reporting expenses. My expertise spans major funding channels, including those from the European Union (Structural Funds, Horizon 2020/Europe, LIFE, Eureka, Interreg, etc.), Italian national bodies (MIMIT, Invitalia, Simest, CdP, etc.), and regional entities (RP-ERDF).I excel in managing and coordinating large-scale investment projects (e.g., Development Agreements, Innovation Agreements, Settlement Agreements), multi-year R&D&I projects, including those for SMEs, and business coaching. My role encompasses meticulous activity planning, business plan verification, progress monitoring, and budget management (time and resources), along with implementing corrective actions to address any delays and deviations from the original schedule.As an external expert and reviewer, I support EU Programme Bodies in evaluating project proposals under Horizon Europe, Eureka and innovation Fund. I hold a MSc in Business Administration from Bocconi University in Milan.
