🧭 WHO I AM
– Born and raised in Italy (94% Italian DNA), I lived in the United States, France, China, Spain, and the United Arab Emirates. I spent ten years in Lisbon, which I still call home.
– I care deeply about clarity, connection, and living with intention. People describe me as thoughtful and perceptive – someone who listens more than they speak, and who notices what others overlook. In Myers-Briggs terms, I am an INFJ.
– I speak five languages: Italian, English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. I have also studied Chinese, Japanese, and Arabic.
– I live with my cat in a quiet apartment by the sea in Dubai. I spend my days working, reading, and swimming.
💼 WHAT I DO
– I broker high-value domain names. More than that, I connect people, build trust, and bring clarity so meaningful deals can happen.
– I publish the Liquid Market Report. I host The Breakfast Club Podcast.
– I occasionally invest in real estate, domain names and startups.
📜 WHAT I VALUE
– Presence over performance. Being real has more weight than appearing impressive.
– Courage over comfort. Each time you go on the other side of fear, you grow stronger.
– Clarity over noise. Only when you are able to see clearly, you are free to live with intention.
– Depth over surface. One life only. Let’s skip the small talk.
– Truth, even when it’s hard. The short-term pain from truth is lower than any long-term costs of misalignment.
– Great things take time. Spontaneity has power, but excellence is revealed only with attention to details.
– Less is more. Distilling and decluttering is kinder on yourself and others.
– Discipline over emotion. Feel deeply, but act with clarity.
