He has worked with Private Equity operators on some of the most important e-commerce transactions of recent years. In addition to being the co-founder of Encelado Ventures lnvestment Club, he is also a Board Director in several companies such as Miroglio Fashion Group, Cellularline S.p.A., Etro S.p.A., and Telepass S.p.A.
