My career choices have always been driven by passion and a love for what I do. I started as a Design Engineer at Ducati Motor Holding where I had to face the complexity of a vehicle and learn the processes involved in carrying an idea or a concept into production. I understood that attention to detail and the relationships within the team are crucial for the success of a project. After three years, I was lucky enough to be offered a middle management position in two new realities operating in the fast-growing electric vehicle industry. First Alfazero in Siena and then Thunder Power in Milan. It was a great opportunity for me to apply my technical skills and acquire new ones in the EV world. I am grateful for having learned something new about team managment and how to be accountable for the timing and budget of a complex project. During this time I felt the growing desire to express my creativity more fully by designing something that could contribute to solving or at least ease a problem that many like me are facing every day - the commute to work. This is when Linky, the foldable electric skateboard, came about. During this adventure, I learned a lot about things far away from my engineering background, like marketing, fundraising, cashflow management, sales, production, and logistics but mostly I learn a lot about myself. Besides being a great experience from a technical point of view, it has been a gym that strengthened my resilience, my drive toward reaching certain goals, and the ability to polish my vision and intention behind what I'm doing. In the last 3 years, while continuing my activity at Linky Innovation I had the opportunity to work as a freelancer for a young reality in the EV- Industry (Privè srl) where I managed specific work packages in two H2020 projects. The best part of this experience was working side by side with an international team and learning new things about electric motors, lightweight materials, and the circular economy.
