RevOps strategies for B2B SaaS companies

Ciao a tutti 👋

I'm an Italian who moved abroad at 19. At 30, I lived already in 5 different countries. 

I spent the first 6 years of my career in sales and Revenue Operations, mostly in the B2B software industry.

Two key principles have shaped me in becoming a better professional:

1️⃣ Learn and execute in order to gain data, insights, and optimize. 
2️⃣ Do extra and share your learnings with your team to make people around you better.

What are my interests? 😍

🍜 Food
🎧 Turntables and viniyls
🏃‍♂️ Fitness and hiking
🏝 Travelling

Shot me a funny DM and let's talk over a digital coffee ☕️
