I am a Senior Sustainability Manager at SIX in Zürich . I lead the definition and execution of the group-wide emissions reduction strategy, designing the Climate Transition Plan and setting and managing the company's first SBTi-approved science-based targets. I manage complex decarbonization roadmaps with a special focus on Scope 3 value chain emissions, engaging suppliers and internal stakeholders to operationalize climate metrics across the organization.
Alongside my corporate work, I serve on the Advisory Committee of Klimastiftung Schweiz (Swiss Climate Foundation), reviewing and selecting innovative climate change projects and SMEs for funding to accelerate Switzerland's transition to a sustainable economy.
Previously, I was a Senior ESG Account Manager at RepRisk, managing a strategic portfolio of over CHF 4.7 million and serving as the Business Owner for the Portfolio Analytics & Management Tool to help global clients identify and mitigate material ESG and climate supply chain risks. Prior to that, I was a Senior Sustainability Consultant at Deloitte, developing quantitative models for environmental externalities and designing corporate sustainability strategies aligned with international standards.
Born in Italy , I studied environmental and land planning engineering at Politecnico di Milano (M.Sc. with honors) and strategic leadership towards sustainability at Blekinge Institute of Technology .
Extensive experience defining corporate decarbonization roadmaps, Net-Zero Climate Transition Plans, and Science Based Targets (SBTi). Expert in greenhouse gas calculation aligned with GHG Protocol and corporate reporting aligned with ESRS, TCFD and CDP.
Deep technical expertise in corporate carbon accounting across direct operations (Scope 1 & 2) and complex value chains (Scope 3). Leading data-driven supplier engagement programs and measurable emissions reduction initiatives.
Over a decade of advisory experience helping executive leadership navigate material ESG and climate risks, double materiality assessments (CSRD), environmental compliance, and sustainable investment decision-making.
Strong quantitative engineering foundation; developed and published mechanistic mathematical models for plant physiology, tree growth dynamics, agroforestry systems, and lifecycle assessments (LCA).
Advisory Committee Member at Klimastiftung Schweiz, reviewing and funding high-impact climate innovation projects and SMEs. Certified in Sustainability and Climate Risk (GARP SCR) and CFA ESG Investing.
Master's background in Strategic Leadership towards Sustainability; proven track record of driving stakeholder alignment across complex matrix organizations, C-suite leadership, and cross-functional teams.

Productivity of fruit tree crops depends on the interaction between plant physiology, environmental conditions and agricultural practices. We develop a mechanistic model of fruit tree crops that reliably simulates the dynamics of variables of interest for growers and consequences of agricultural practices while relying on a minimal number of inputs and parameters. The temporal dynamics of carbon content in the different organs (i.e., shoots, roots and fruits) are the result of photosynthesis by shoots, nutrient supply by roots, respiration by all organs, competition among organs, photoperiod and initial system conditions partially controlled by cultural practices. We calibrate model parameters and evaluate model predictions using experimental orchard data with trees subjected to different levels of branch pruning and fruit thinning within a multi-criteria analysis.

This research explores how the construction industry can contribute to urban sustainability challenges through a closed-loop building approach across design, construction, use, and deconstruction phases. The study analyzes the potential of a closed-loop approach to solve urban sustainability challenges and identifies key barriers and enablers, emphasizing the need for shared frameworks, material selection strategies, design flexibility, and systemic supply chain collaboration.

Mathematical modeling of host-pest dynamics in perennial fruit crops. Incorporating sap-feeding insects into mechanistic carbon-allocation tree growth models enables quantitative simulation and prediction of yield losses and physiological stress under varying pest pressures and agricultural management strategies.

A mathematical mechanistic model simulating the vegetative and reproductive growth dynamics of peach trees (Prunus persica) under infestation by green peach aphids (Myzus persicae). The model couples physiological processes of carbon synthesis and partitioning with pest metabolic demands to inform sustainable integrated pest management.
