What I do
Stakeholder Engagement and Partnership building
With over a decade of experience working across Africa, the Middle East, my work has involved collaborating with diverse organisations and entities - from governments to influential stakeholders - to enhance stakeholder engagement, ensuring that initiatives resonate with local communities, address their unique challenges but most importantly are sustainable. Through a deep understanding of regional dynamics and a commitment to fostering inclusive growth, I have successfully helped companies and organisations navigate complex environments, build lasting relationships, and achieve their sustainability goals.

Geopolitical Advisory
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working closely with C-suite executives and organisational leaders, providing them with critical insights on geopolitical situations that impact their strategic decision-making. Specialising in the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, my extensive years working in these regions, combined with my proficiency in local languages, have granted me a unique perspective that empowers clients to make informed strategic moves. This blend of in-depth regional knowledge and analytical expertise allows me to effectively advise leaders on how to mitigate risks and seize opportunities in an ever-evolving global context.
Writing and Photography
Writing and photography are my passion! Apart from political analysis, I also write about things I love - such as my Italian and Dominican heritage as well as contemporary issues in the Mediterranean. Travelling around the world also allows me to pursue my passion in photography. My work focuses on travel, culture and perspective, helping to translate world scenes for the audience. Most of my work is on Instagram.
