I was born on July 19, 1969, in Nice, on the eve of the first moon landing. The daughter of a Cossack mother and an Italian father, I grew up in Milan. From a very young age, I wanted to understand and learn: at four, I was already asking to start school, and at five, I enrolled in a German school. This curiosity has never left me.
After studying Information Science, I spent nearly twenty years in international investment banking. There, I learned to operate in complex environments, to connect information from multiple levels, and to make decisions in demanding and constantly evolving contexts.
