Me in Three

I'm an innovation entrepreneur. I created LearningStartup, the first Italian, hands-on methodology supporting innovation and startups. I provide coaching, seminars and hands-on training for startups and innovation departments using LearningStartup and other methodologies to innovate innovation.
I like understanding the theory behind anything, but in the end the real pleasure comes from making things happen! I'm convinced that education at any level has to be experiential rather than prescriptive.
I like to find the beauty and wonder of things everywhere.
