About Francesca

Passionate of technology, I have spent these last 20 years working with startups/scale-ups and large companies on different subjects: public speaking for roadshows with investors and/or international clients; companies presentations; pitch; international events… At the same time, I have helped my clients improve their companies' communication creating team building sessions after assessing main constraints or conflicts. My goal is to help my clients feel comfortable facing their challenges and achieve their goals while enjoying the experience. My sessions can be in English, French or Italian.
