I'm a dual Italian and U.S. national, born in NYC of parents from Naples, Italy, and I grew up in NYC, New Jersey (Westwood), Italy (Rome), and the Philippines (Manila). Following college in the U.S. (R.I.), I lived and worked in (chronological order) Paris, Geneva, Lausanne, Brussels, London, Paris, and now I split my time between Paris and Mallorca in Spain. I've had several careers - journalist, magazine publisher, corporate communications, marketing, senior management, and EdTech entrepreneur - and now spend my time - aside from writing on topics that interest me - helping companies develop their international business.
