Senior communication manager
I work at the intersection of strategic communication, digital channels, social media, stakeholder engagement and evidence-based communication planning.
My experience spans EU, public-sector and international environments, with work across European institutions and agencies, intergovernmental initiatives, public administrations and international programmes. I have led communication work in digital, online and social media contexts, combining strategic planning with operational delivery, analytics, audience understanding and editorial judgement.
I currently lead Digital eXperience & Discovery and coordinate AI in comms at the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), following earlier leadership of Strategic Communications and internal communication responsibilities. My work includes digital-channel governance, communication planning, procurement, analytics, AI-supported communication workflows and coordination across internal and external stakeholders.
Selected experience
Previously, at Cardno Emerging Markets, I led communication strategy and coordination for the Central Management Unit of EU Gateway | Business Avenues, a European Commission flagship programme delivered for the Service for Foreign Policy Instruments. The role included communication planning across Europe and Asia, contractors and sectors, liaison with the European Commission and EU Delegations, management of paid and organic campaigns, audiovisual delivery, and coordination of international communication teams.
Over a longer period, I also worked as senior communication expert for the Italian Government at Formez PA, supporting ministries, local authorities and public-sector reform initiatives. This included communication planning, stakeholder engagement, digital communication, editorial work, knowledge management, training and support to major open-government initiatives.
Additional background
I also worked with national political organisations, including a former Prime Minister and Senators, on digital communication and social media strategy. It was work carried out in environments where timing, judgement, message control and discretion mattered, and where communication choices often had to be handled with particular care.
Alongside project and leadership work, this activity has also developed through publications, teaching and professional training. Writing, lecturing and mentoring across universities, public administrations and professional settings have remained closely tied to practice, knowledge transfer and the development of others.
My investigative photojournalism has also been published by Italian media and documentary outlets, including work later used by Amnesty International.
