The complexities of societal mores, the practical application of international relations and law, and the key principles related to diplomacy, intercultural communication, and negotiation provide the necessary foundation to promote critical thinking and dialog around timeless political concerns.
Thanks to my peculiar experience (with more than 33 year in Asia —mainly in Japan), the near native knowledge of Japanese language, fluent in English, French, and coupled with basic understanding of Chinese and Thai, gives me the opportunity to act as a catalyst and a facilitator in the promotional marketing and international relation consultancy. These skills were helpful in setting up companies where I worked succesfully as president, as well as several restaurants in Japan as consultant.
Furthermore, thank to my abilities, the Italian Government bestowed upon me for two times the National Decoration of Merit (the first time for service done to the Italian Community in Japan, and the second time for my outstanding job done as Executive Director at the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Japan).
