My interest in History, Arts and Culture, as well as Security and Defence, has been deeply stimulated in my personal and academic career. In addition to the variety of my training and professional background, I believe I have personal characteristics that are valuable in different contexts, such as versatility, originality, a sense of responsibility and adaptability to multicultural environments. I must highlight my linguistic knowledge and the opportunity I have had to visit more than fifty countries.

I am an entrepreneur, trainer and university professor. In 2006, I set up my own management consultancy company. Working for various clients, I was responsible for supporting several businesses and managing multiple investments. Since 2003, I have been a project consultant for a property investment company, in charge of property management, maintenance management and rental contracts.
