Professionally

I graduated from the University of Amsterdam with a Master’s degree in Business Administration in 2022, and with an Honours Bachelor’s degree in Politics, Psychology, Law & Economics in 2020 with a focus on Economics. I hold a Level 3 Certificate in Wealth and Investment Management by The Chartered Institute of Securities and Investments (CISI).

Before Black Swan Capital I worked as Compliance Analyst at a tech start-up, and I am bringing that rigour and attention to detail to my work as Client Project Lead. My two years at Black Swan Capital mark the start of my career in the financial services industry, and I feel privileged to be working with and learning from David and Ed.

Personally

Perhaps unsurprisingly for an Italian, I am very passionate about food. But rather than being too conservative with recipes as my compatriots famously are, I just love good ingredients. I will enjoy a carbonara with mushrooms, as long as they are nice mushrooms! In my free time I try my hand at stand-up comedy, I started performing in Amsterdam during my undergrads, and fun fact: that’s how I first met Ed. I also practice Feldenkrais, which is a movement method for better posture, and that comes very handy after a long day sitting in front of a computer.

What I did during lockdown

As I was still studying, I divided my time between Zoom lectures, thesis writing, and online chess. When I was not doing any of these, I was disinfecting groceries while listening to a podcast, which I found is an entertaining pastime compared to simply disinfecting groceries. I am still a big fan of podcasts even though I stopped disinfecting groceries a few lockdowns ago. I eventually graduated (twice!) somehow moved countries (also twice!), and fell in love.
