Bio

After 15 years in companies like Microsoft (Italy) and Nokia (Finland), I became an enterpreneur and launched MAAM - maternity as a master’s: the only training method in the world (as far as I know) that transforms parenting skills in soft skills for work. 40 companies, 4.000 mothers and fathers are already on MAAM digital platform. I am a single (separated) mother of 2 amazing kids: Marta and Luca. I am proud to be an Ashoka Fellow and this is my TEDx about WOMEN and POWER https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N9-B2xmG5M

I'm passionate about

Change, life and how power connects to responsibility.

An idea worth spreading

We think of sport as a metaphor for leadership and we forget that there is something much closer to us than makes us “natural born leaders”... being a parent!

Areas of expertise

Diversity & Inclusion, Innovation, Organisation culture and change management

The TED story

Solving the waste of human resources we create by considering work and life as conflicting entities.

Things you might not know

Making mistakes and forgiving myself.
