About
Chemical engineer by training,
commissioning leader by trade.
A career that began with simulations and P&IDs, and matured on the decks and control rooms where plants come to life.
MSc in Chemical Engineering from Politecnico di Milano (first-class honors), with an Erasmus year at the University of Oslo. I started in process engineering — dynamic simulation, licensed gas treatment processes, FEED — and grew through EPC roles in Italy, South Korea, Kazakhstan and Libya.
Today I am Commissioning Manager at Eni, responsible for commissioning, start-up and handover to operations of new production facilities. Chartered Engineer, member of IChemE, registered with the Ordine degli Ingegneri di Arezzo. Based in Tuscany — working worldwide, on rotation.
