ABOUT ME

I have a passion for life, and enjoy exploring new places, ideas and opportunities.  I believe the world we live in today is dynamic and ever-changing.

This environment requires individuals to adapt, evolve and continually increase their knowledge of themselves while striving to reach new heights both professionally and personally.

Throughout my entire professional career and personal life, I have actively avoided conforming to stereotypes, clichés, and external expectations. My priority has constantly been experiencing life, asking questions, and avoiding preconceived answers. 

I view myself as a product of my mistakes, errors, trials, and tribulations, and embracing these challenges is a crucial part of my growth and development. 

My approach to creativity is process-oriented, and I possess an exceptional level of natural talent and versatility, making me possibly one of the most gifted generalists that many people have ever encountered.

He is smiling and has one hand in his pocket, holding glasses in the other. Behind him are plants and part of a building, with signage on the glass door indicating hours for Fondazione Officine Safi.

A true Renaissance Man

I'm a true Renaissance Man, an authentic and passionate world citizen, with a highly sophisticated attitude towards life and business. My interests are broad, including arts, politics, impact business, sartorial lifestyle, philosophy, music, history, and many more.

I consider myself a successful, accomplished professional, combining self-confidence with a great spirit and heart, educated, cultured, and cosmopolitan, always carrying myself through class, fine manners, distinction, and humour, and destined to be an inspiring leader.

I love the taste of espresso on a terrace at 4:00 PM, while still being a fully devoted business person, advisor, and service provider. It’s all about the right (work-life) balance.

I have always been a caring father, and cooking for my family and friends is what I privilege to the maximization of client acquisition meetings.

I travel lots, 150 and more days/ year. I'm into arts (contemporary, photography, street art …) and culture (theatre, concerts, ballet …).
I play electric guitar, read a lot, do sports, and like to cook…
