Hello, I'm Francesco Defila

Hello everyone! I'm very pleased to join this amazing community. I'm Francesco Defila, an 19 years old italian student, who is going to attend the Bachelor in International Economics and Finance at Bocconi University. Before attending Bocconi University, I was enrolled at University of Bologna in the Bachelor of Business and Economics. During this experience, I had the opportunity to join the In Company Training Sessions at COESIA and Automobili Lamborghini.

While I'm a full-time student, I'm working as a Brand Ambassador for Satispay, an italian raising fintech startup, where I can sharpen my skills while gaining experience in a growing and fast-changing work environment, and as an Author for The Market Mogul, an online platform for finance professionals, academics and students to read, write and engage with topical issues facing the current global economy and financial markets. By the way, I'm always open-minded to new opportunities and new experiences that can help me to improve myself professionally and humanly.

My dream is to found an investment group specializing in the acquisition of medium-sized companies. Not a purely financial investment, but with an industrial approach, in "quality companies", with a view to the management of medium to long term.

Looking forward to meet you all,

Best wishes!
