Biography

Assistant Professor in Finance, qualified as an auditor and chartered Accountant since 2009, I run my independent audit firm for 10 years and started my carreer previously in Accenture.

I gained International Experience in Italy (Università LUISS Guido Carli, Università Roma TRE, Università di Roma La Sapienza), UAE (American University of the Emirates, De Montfort University Dubai), UK (Coventry University), and Malta (American University of Malta).

I served as an expert and trainer for the Italian Tax Police (Guardia di Finanza) and as a court-appointed technical consultant in White-Collar Crime and Bankruptcy.

My research interests range from accounting and finance to technology and innovation. I enjoy multidisciplinary research as I believe it ensures novelty and innovation.
