I wanted to be an economist, but the French education system values maths skills. So, I chose a maths speciality, which wasn’t my best decision. Then, after deciding that France was too cold, I did my IT engineering degree in Rome (Italy). Followed by a post-grad diploma in Non-executive Director in London. I am a serial learner. I am always learning something new, whether it is related (or not) to my speciality which is Cloud, and in particular FinOps. I thrive in chaos that needs structure. I live for the moment when I become redundant, and everything runs smoothly without me. I enjoy finding meaning in complex data. I love the complexity that Cloud and FinOps bring, the balance between diplomacy, KPIs, and technology. In my career, I managed thousands of production servers, including some in the Vatican. I also faced a life-and-death situation: "We have someone in surgery. The blood bank software isn’t working. You have five minutes." I am one of the top experts in various topics, recently AWS and FinOps, and occasionally help my mum to transfer her photos from her phone.
