About me

Digital & Media Specialist with 6+ years of experience spanning top agencies (VML, CPM, Omnicom) and brand-side roles. Today I lead media and digital strategy for seven Campari Group brands, across paid media, TV, CTV, OOH, social, CRM and e-commerce.

From launching Aperol's first TikTok logo take-over in Italy to live events with 6,000+ attendees alongside Achille Lauro, Rkomi, Rose Villain and Gaia, and sport partnerships like Cynar × Venezia FC.

I thrive on complexity: multiple brands, multiple agencies, one coherent vision, always delivered with precision.
