professionals with strong expertise

Simona started working in fundraising after years of experience in HR management and external relations at Universities. With a master’s degree in fundraising from the University of Bologna and specialized training completed with organizations and institutions abroad, she is a consultant and trainer for nonprofits and companies, both Italian and foreign. What drives her in her work is seeing how dedication and commitment make change possible, day after day. And how the cultural context determines most of our identity… tying in with her passion for sociology and anthropology.
Former vice president of the Italian Association of Fundriasers (ASSIF), she currently is a Board member and Chair of Public Affairs of the European Fundraising Association. She loves sports, books, quiet woods, sunsets over the sea, and licorice.
Those who know her well say she is precise, serious (but not boring), transparent, talkative, and sometimes touchy.

Alberto has a specific expertise in financial sustainability and in the design and development of organizations, built over many years of work experience with prestigious Italian universities.
Holding a master’s degree in management from Milan’s Polytechnic, and having specialized in fundraising and philanthropy at Italian and international institutions, he has been published multiple times as an expert on these subjects, and has been a consultant and trainer for various organizations in Italy and abroad. He is a member of ASSIF (Associazione italiana fundraiser, i.e. Italy’s fundraiser association). Because he gets bored easily, he likes the fact his job requires constant learning, listening, asking questions and not just giving answers.
He loves going to the cinema (low lights and silence included), the feeling of wellbeing after physical exercise, honey and mystery novels.
Those who know him well say he is reserved, skittish, empathetic, chaotic and rigorous at the same time, reliable and always true to his principles, both in work and in life.
