About

Ambitious New Yorker by day, Italian by spirit and heritage.

I was born in the West Village and live in Tribeca, which tells you I've never been great at sitting still. For more than a decade that meant building things, mobile apps and digital strategy at one of the most famous global luxury brands, consulting for two of the world's largest financial institutions, and an MBA from Cornell, among other things. I still advise startups and AI companies and teach Digital Innovation to master's students, because staying a lifelong learner feeds my soul, and helping other people become one does too. The ambition never left.

What's changed is what I think it's for. Somewhere between a product design session in Cupertino and a brand exhibition in London, I started paying attention to people who'd built a whole life, not just a career, and noticed a lot of them borrow from the Italians. I've spent years chasing that same feeling, in Rome and Sicily and in a 200-hour yoga teacher training, trying to figure out how to want it all without losing my wellness and sense of self along the way.

allora ora is what I'm learning from them, written in public. For anyone who's already good at ambition and ready to get just as good at the rest of it.
