About us

Before I moved into philanthropy advisory, I spent ten years working in the international development aid sector. I worked in 14 countries across 4 continents as a project manager, programme designer, analyst and grant writer for big and small international organisations, including United Nations, public administration, nonprofit and private sectors. 

In 2016-2018 I specialised in philanthropy advisory and wealth management (Family Office) and founded Philanthropoid, a consultancy service based in Milan, Italy. Since then I have been working with private individuals, families, family offices and foundations interested in developing and implementing most effective social impact funding strategies.

My core skills and competences include: strategy development, grant sourcing, screening, analysis and management, donor relations and networking. I regularly work as a trainer, mentor and facilitator, sharing my knowledge and skills with others. I work in English, Italian and Polish languages.

On a personal side, I like meeting new people, listening to stories and connecting the dots.

LinkedIn profile

I joined Philanthropoid in early 2024. Ever since my internship at Global Philanthropic, London, in 2014, I’ve developed a genuine interest in philanthropy advisory and strategic philanthropy.  I strongly believe there are many ways in which people can do good, but philanthropy is not just about doing good, but also doing well. In order to create a significant, long-lasting and positive impact, choosing a strategic and effective approach to philanthropy is crucial.

Before becoming a philanthropy advisor myself, I worked for 10 years in the charity sector as fundraiser, grant writer and grant manager, and have collaborated with renowned organisations, such as WWF, Greenpeace and Caritas, both in Italy and abroad.

I have a master’s degree in international relations and a post-graduate diploma in Fundraising both at University of Bologna. I speak Italian, English and Spanish.
