Born and bred in Tirana, I feel lucky to perfectly connect information, networks and roots in a small country like Albania. After my industrial engineering experience early in my career, I then studied management consulting in Germany, which influenced my entire professional life.
I love what I do and I believe in creating relationships that put people and trust at center. Assisting organisations and individuals in achieving their strategic vision motivates me.
Beyond my business, I love travelling with my family and spending time with them. We are a family of engineers, but nonetheless we couldn't instill it to our two sons who studied business and finance.
People think of me as a very serious person, but those who work with me know how much I like laughing/making fun and how I also encourage others to do so.
I like to take long walks on the beach and love swimming. I enjoy following aspiring Latin singers, even though in my youth I was highly impacted by Italian music and literature.
When it comes to food I enjoy experimenting with it, but not too often because then I can't refrain myself from tasting everything.
