After graduating from the Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies and earning a degree from the University of Pisa, followed by a PhD in Business Administration and Management, he began his career at Atlantia before gaining significant experience at the European Commission—initially through a short traineeship within the Business Intelligence and Business Acceleration Unit, and subsequently in the Cabinet of the European Commissioner for the Economy.
Following a further two-year experience at the Treasury Department of the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance, he returned full-time to the family business founded by his grandfather Paolo, ICOP S.p.A., where he serves as a member of the Board of Directors and President of the Paolo Petrucco Foundation.
