I am a business-oriented scientist who built deep expertise in protein engineering and antibody discovery through an international Ph.D. and through work at two biotechnology companies. My scientific background gave me the tools to adapt to unpredictable situations, to think critically and to work hard both inside a team or in a more independent way in order to achieve the best results possible. I am passionate about blending business with science and I am a very dedicated and motivated person with great interest in learning and experiencing new things. I am always looking forward to new challenges and I am highly adaptable to different cultures, lifestyles and working styles, since I have lived and worked in five different countries
