Passionate about the energy industry and its transition to a low-carbon future, I bring 13+ years of international experience across the full spectrum, from oil & gas to green molecules (hydrogen, ammonia, CCSU) and renewable energy.My career journey spans multinational corporations (ExxonMobil, Snam), a scale-up (NatPower Marine), and entrepreneurial ventures (founder of Venet, advisor to start-ups and investors). This mix has given me the versatility to navigate highly structured environments, fast-growing scale-ups, and agile start-ups, always with a focus on innovation and growth.

I specialize in business development, operations leadership, project execution, and fundraising. Highlights include driving shore power and clean infrastructure initiatives at NatPower Marine, advising climate-tech start-ups and investors on due diligence, M&A, and capital raising through Venet, leading hydrogen and decarbonization projects at Snam, and delivering operational improvements and multimillion-dollar projects and during 8+ years at ExxonMobil.I am committed to building partnerships across industry and institutions, defining strategies, and delivering solutions that accelerate company growth. Holding an Executive MBA from ESCP Business School and a Master’s in Mechanical Engineering, I bring together technical expertise with business and strategic leadership.
