Hi, i'm Andrea, an Italian on this planet. Born in 1994, along my growth i gradually got interested and passionated about Earth's natural beauties, environmental stewardship and sustainability.

I studied Management Engineering in Milan, an hybrid between an economic and a technical degree, and once i reached the Master i was looking for a specialization through which i would have been able to merge my personal concern/interest and my study field. So i did, i found the stream in Energy & Environmental Management with the willing to put my effort for the cause, and the hope to bring my little contribute to the biggest challenge humanity ever faced: save the planet from ourselves.

My work shows (1) that you prefer abundance-based agreements to scarcity-based ones, (2) lots of people have figured out how to live this way, for decades, with far better results and experiences, and (3) you can choose to shift your agreements, experiences, and outcomes to abundance-based. I develop and share this work through my research, writing, talks, teaching, and application, through the Institute for Strategic Clarity's global network, which includes affiliations at Harvard, itdUPM, and TEC EGADE.
