Valentina Contini 👩‍🎤's Linkedin Analytics

All the best things in my life have happened because I decided not to do what I was "supposed" to do. Before high school, my teachers said that I should attend a purely scientific high school, but I chose a foreign language high school instead. After high school, my professors told me that I was wasting my time going into engineering because I didn't have the necessary foundation. When I quit my first job as a project manager to become a development engineer, everybody thought it was a step backwards. When I left Italy to find a job in e-mobility, everybody thought I was crazy because "electric cars are just city cars." When I started dating a French guy, everybody was surprised and asked, "Really? A French guy?" Want to guess what happened when I said that I didn't want to develop sports cars anymore? We are the result of our choices, and I tend to not choose the obvious and easy way. Ryan Holiday made me realize that I am just a stoic. I love challenges, concepts, prototypes, adventures, and explorations. I can talk for hours about innovation, futures, gaming, and "the hot tech sh*t of the year." I am addicted to learning new things every day, all while parenting two amazing and lively little humans (with the French guy). My favorite T-shirt says, "Rebel is my favorite color!" but I recently bought another one that is fighting for the top spot and says, "Hell was boring."
