I grew up in a quaint little Italian village, nestled among the rolling hills of Tuscany. With more books than people, I read all the time, devouring every genre that came my way.

I studied Scandinavian Languages and Literature, graduating summa cum laude from the University of Pisa.

My thesis took me to Copenhagen. I stumbled across the bold idea of a Denmark-Sweden bridge, which would later captivate audiences worldwide when starring in its own TV show …The Bridge.

The Celtic Tiger transformed me into an entrepreneur. I founded a fashion startup and spent over a decade in Dublin, mastering the art of dodging raindrops.

I’ve been a founder in fashion, technology, travel and even chocolate startups. These ventures have taken me on a thrilling journey where style meets innovation and wanderlust fuels progress.

I swapped the Irish rain for the Canadian snow when I moved to Toronto, where I currently live with my husband and our feline overlord, Puccino, aka The King of Toronto.
