I'm Tommaso — 21, wrapping up the second year of a Business & Economics degree at the University of Bologna, holding a 29/30 GPA. My obsession with finance started at 14 with personal finance and grew into corporate finance, valuation and data-driven decision-making.
I've led several group projects to cum laude — from a full equity valuation of Campari to EV-market positioning studies. Right now I'm interning in Toyota Material Handling's Commercial Finance team; from August I head to Rotterdam for an exchange in consulting & change. Outside the spreadsheet, I run almost daily, cook, and read — same discipline, different arena.
