Profile

Team Management and Sporting Operations professional with 10 years’ experience in Team Management and Sporting Director roles, preceded by prior experience in Formula One.

I’ve run parallel programmes across multiple classes and championships in the same season, including GT3 and GT4 within one series, and Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland alongside Porsche Sprint Challenge Benelux in another.

I’ve organized and managed testing operations across various championships, including circuit booking and full oversight of the test team.

I’m skilled in championship entry administration, including team licensing, race and test documentation, and supplier coordination and payment processing for tyres, fuel and entry costs.

I have extensive knowledge of sporting regulations across different championships and series, gained through hands-on team operations in complex, multi-series environments. I also hold an ACI trackside marshal licence (commissario di percorso) with a focus on single-seater and GT events, giving me an official’s perspective on sporting regulations alongside my team-side experience.

I’m fluent in English, Italian and German, enabling direct communication with international teams and governing bodies.
