SPEAKER PROFILE

I'm Managing Director of the Data Science team at business advisory firm FTI Consulting. I lead the team in delivering strategic business solutions to clients requiring in-depth analysis of large sets of financial, operational and transactional data. As a recognised voice in the Data Science industry, I am a member of the Advisory Board of the Ph.D. and MSc programmes in Social Data Science at the University of Oxford.

Prior to joining FTI Consulting, I've served as Lead Data Scientist at French multinational consulting corporation Capgemini and WPP’s Kantar Media, where I led teams of up to 20 data scientists. Before pursuing a career in the private sector, I worked as Researcher at the University of Oxford and Siena to enhance my ability to collect, manipulate, and analyse large volumes of data and geographic information. This has led to a number of publications on the matter both in Italian and in English.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Politics and International Relations, and a Ph.D. in Politics and Economic Geography.
