Bio
Michele Travierso
I've had the pleasure to select and recommend Lorenzo for hiring at SOSV as a program specialist. Organized, diligent, fast learning; all these qualities, on top of his good spirits, made him a well-appreciated team member. Committed and detail-oriented, he consistently exceeded expectations and was always willing to go above and beyond to ensure the success of the program. Lorenzo was a pleasure to work with. He was always willing to share his ideas and was open to feedback. On top of everything, he’s also an enthusiastic foodie, a good sport, and a warm friend. I’d pick him again in a heartbeat.
