I flourish in environments where I can be myself, and where both I and the teams I lead can work on our own betterment without fearing failure - which I consider an excellent way to learn. 

I firmly believe the most important elements to foster healthy and productive teams and product growth are shared accountability, adaptability, autonomy, learning from failure and respectful candid feedback.

I'm an advocate of the principles of the Agile manifesto and believe that any methodology that has at its core lean practices welcoming changes of requirements can only bring benefits, particularly if compared to traditional waterfall ways of working, where the initial plan does not change, even though reality has. Iterative deliveries give teams the ability to adjust course and pivot their plans as they acquire new knowledge and test new hypotheses.

I have implemented several Agile frameworks in my career and they've allowed me and my teams to sensibly minimise the gap between reality and planning, while continuously delivering incremental pieces of tangible value for our users. I strongly believe that what contributed the most to the success of these frameworks is that I’ve never blindly implemented them as they came out of the box, rather I’ve tailored them for a specific team, at a specific growth stage, within a specific company and industry.

Throughout my career, I've been hiring and coaching several talented, successful and motivated people.
I enjoy working collaboratively with Talent Acquisition teams and I am extremely engaged and attentive in the candidate selection process. Being a natural networker, it is not a challenge for me to leverage my own professional network to reach out to talented people I've worked or collaborated with in the past.
