🌍 Truly international — lived, studied, and worked across Italy, UK, Mexico, US, Slovakia, and the Netherlands.

🗣️ Fluent in Italian, Spanish, English, and French, with working Dutch. Experienced influencing senior leadership, regulators, and global stakeholders across Europe and the US.

I help financial institutions, FinTechs, and regulated businesses scale, launch products, and expand into new markets without being slowed down by risk, governance, or regulatory complexity.

What I do best:

• Turn complex regulatory frameworks into executable business strategies

• Lead high-impact programs spanning Product, Risk, Legal, and Commercial

• Bridge the gap between innovation and control in regulated environments

Core expertise:

Program Management

• Payments & FinTech risk advisory

• Product governance & approval frameworks (PARP, committees, controls)

• FATCA, CRS, QI, KYC/CDD, Non-Financial Risk

• Scaling regulated products across Europe & international markets

I work best with organizations that need senior execution capability in high-stakes, regulated environments — particularly during launches, expansions, or transformation phases.

🔥 Interested in opportunities where I can build, scale, and deliver meaningful impact across financial services, payments, and digital finance.
