Welcome to my LinkedIn page! 👋 ⏱️ Getting to know me in short👇 In previous life professional soccer player. I decided to change the plans of a life that seemed already written to fight the biggest challenge facing humanity: climate change. Today, after founding and selling Doitgreen to AWorld, an app supporting the UN's ActNow campaign, I work as a product manager with the goal of making life sustainable on this planet! I have appeared in StartupItalia, SkySport, Gazzetta dello Sport and Corriere della Sera. 〰️ 〰️ 〰️ 🔬 If you want to get to know me in more depth 👇 I played for 10 years in the most beautiful jersey in the world, that of Sampdoria, going on to win the scudetto with the under-17 team and training together with players of the caliber of Cassano and Icardi. I had the honor of wearing the jersey of the Italian under-17 and under-19 national teams, playing alongside established players like Lorenzo Pellegrini (captain of Roma) and Davide Calabria (captain of AC Milan). Later, I moved far and wide around Italy, playing on many fields of the Italian Serie C (Pro League) and Serie D. An injury (a heart operation), led me to reflect a lot. As I continued my career, little by little, inside, I felt that I was here to do something else, without yet knowing what. The spark came after I came up with my first project, Wevyt, which later became Guvy. An app created with the goal of enhancing people's free time by helping them choose (in 3 minutes) what to do during their travels. The project failed on 03/23/22. I restarted from my values and a strong why. Betting on what I felt inside. I wanted to fight climate change. I decided to leave soccer and create Doitgreen, an app that helps every individual to make their life sustainable on this planet. Later, AWorld, an Italian startup and B-Corp chosen by the United Nations to guide and incentivize people to live sustainably, given the similarities in vision decided to acquire our project on February 12, 2023. I joined as product manager a team of motivated people who dream of making life on the planet sustainable by working to fight climate change. I have conducted seminars for companies such as CDP (Cassa Depositi e Prestiti) and the University of Genoa, Milan and Foggia. I have also appeared in StartupItalia, SkySport, Gazzetta dello Sport and Corriere della Sera.
