Francesco Giuliani
Working with Bruno on the E4T entrepreneurship summer course was great! During the course, we developed a startup idea in a team of 4 and got 2nd place in the final competition. Bruno proved a key member of our team and his contribution was critical to our final result. He proposed ingenious solutions both on a conceptual and on a communication level, helping us in explaining and representing effectively difficult and long theoric concepts. The great-looking slides he prepared for our final presentation helped us deliver a clear and effective pitch. He's flexible and can very efficiently work in a team, even a smart-working only one. His personality and professionalism make him one of the best members to have in your team. I hope we'll meet again soon! Thank you, Bruno!
