“My career as an economist at the European Commission started at the Joint Research Centre, back in 2010, as a regional and innovation economist.

In 2016, I moved to Rome as European Semester Officer at the Representation of the European Commission to Italy, a bridge between Brussels and Italian National Stakeholders.
