The TED story

It started in 2021 as a speaker coach for the first edition of TEDxLungarnoMediceo. The outgoing licensee asked me if I wanted to take his place, and I embarked on the venture with a capable group of allies, realizing the second edition a year later, in 2022. In 2023, I stepped aside to work on my doctoral thesis and returned five months before the event to provide as much support as possible to the organization.
