About me: I am a materials engineer by training and hold a PhD in Aerospace Materials, where my research focused on developing next-generation 3D-printed alloys for jet engines.
Before joining LBS, I spent four years at Brembo, the global leader in automotive braking systems. I started in materials research and development, working on innovative materials and technologies to help braking systems meet ever-higher performance targets and tighter regulatory constraints. I later moved into project management, leading large cross-functional teams to execute the design, validation and launch of high-performance braking systems for leading supercar manufacturers.
I decided to purse the MBA programme at LBS to complement my technical and operational experience with financial, strategic and leadership skills.
Outside of work, I am an avid football fan – I spend my Sundays playing with the LBS football team or watching my home team, Juventus. I also enjoy skiing, gaming and live music.
Three topics I can be approached about: Non-traditional background; living in London; clubs at LBS.
