I currently serve as Head of Philanthropy and Partnerships at UNICEF Italy, where I lead engagement strategies with high-value partners, focusing on family businesses, family-friendly workplace policies, family philanthropy, and next-generation engagement. In addition to my national role, I act as UNICEF’s global focal point on family philanthropy, continuing to coordinate global initiatives and engagement opportunities.
From 2024 to 2025, I undertook a two-year secondment at UNICEF Headquarters as Philanthropy Manager, working closely with relationship managers worldwide to support philanthropic families and family business owners in creating lasting, values-driven impact for children. During this time, I spearheaded the development of UNICEF’s global framework for family philanthropy, establishing innovative platforms for multigenerational giving and engagement. After completing the secondment, I resumed my leadership role at UNICEF Italy.
Before joining UNICEF, I helped establish and direct the TIDE Foundation, an initiative of TLcom Capital LLP to support entrepreneurship in Sub-Saharan Africa, and served as TLcom Capital’s Director of Development Impact. Earlier in my career, I spent 15 years leading programs for an international NGO across Africa, Asia, and Central America, and worked as a development consultant for international organizations.
I hold a degree in Business Administration from LUISS University in Rome and a Master’s in Development Economics and International Cooperation from Ferrara University.
