PERSONAL SKILLS AND COMPETENCES
Acquired in the course of life and career but not necessarily covered by formal certificates and diplomas.
Leadership, team coordination and organization, acquired both as a former member of the Italian Naval Academy and then as a Navy Officer (Ensign), but also due to the experience as a Chief Entertainment Organizer in summer jobs during the period of study at university. Especially in the latter case, I've also worked several times abroad, thus having the chance to deal with different cultures and interacting with people of different languages (especially english, french and german).
SOCIAL SKILLS AND COMPETENCES
Living and working with other people, in multicultural environments, in positions where communication is important and situations where teamwork is essential (for example culture and sports), etc
I have a high sense of teamworking and I deeply believe in the enrichment coming from the integration of cultures and disciplines. This is probably due to the fact that during my life I’ve always liked doing my activities in teams: sports, professional, military, artistic.
Talking to people (also in different languages) is a way of understanding different cultures as well as also an excellent method for continuous learning, especially in specific working contexts.
ORGANISATIONAL SKILLS AND COMPETENCES
