ABOUT

She was born and raised in Italy in a bi-cultural family and has always been fascinated by cultural similarities and differences and how they play out in people’s decisions and at the level of the subconscious.

After getting a Masters in Social and Political Theory from Cambridge University, Silvia pursued her interest in cultures and applied it to qualitative research. Having lived in Italy, the UK, the US, Germany and France, analyzing cultures and behaviours is her passion.

Her focus is to bring market understanding and relevant insights to clients to help inform strategic decision through actionable recommendations…whether it is about re-branding in healthcare or new category development in CPGs.

Silvia works with a number of senior partners domestically and internationally, her model is that of partnering with senior professionals to ensure that clients get the best quality of thinking on their projects.
