TREAT IT AS IF IT WERE YOURS.
Facility management taught me that every decision leaves a consequence in the building, budget and team. I carry that owner mindset into temporary venues and freelance assignments.
It is the way I have always worked: understand the place, organise the people, protect the operation, make the decision and take responsibility for what happens next.
I started organising things long before events became my profession. Over time that instinct became a career across sports facilities, competition management, project direction, venue operations, site management and sports governance.
What connects those roles is not the job title. It is responsibility for an operating environment: turning a place, a plan and a group of specialised people into one functioning system.
That is why I see a venue as more than a building — and why I have often found myself doing venue-management work even before the title formally appeared on the organisation chart.

Functions, contractors and stakeholders do not need to become the same. They need a shared operating logic, clear priorities and a venue rhythm that lets each professional do their job.
I like plans, schedules and governance — but I trust them only when they work on the ground. The site, the people and the live operation are where assumptions get tested.
Readiness and live delivery matter. So do reset, reinstatement and handover. A project is not finished when the audience leaves.
My background combines hands-on venue and facility responsibility with Board-level sports governance. That mix changed the questions I ask.
Operations asks: can we open safely, on time and ready? Governance asks: why are we doing this, who does it serve, how is it funded and who owns the consequence? I find both perspectives useful in the same room.
Olympic delivery, Asian Games, international sport and full-project responsibility.
Passo Buole and J.F. Kennedy: operations, maintenance, programming, concessions and continuity.
Identity, development systems, accountability and institutional transformation.
I am Italy-based and globally mobile, with a preference for substantial project-based assignments and major event delivery programmes.
My primary direction is senior venue, site, operations and event-delivery leadership — roles where operational depth, stakeholder management and an executive view of the project need to coexist.
