My name is Andrea Leone. Further than being graduated in a Master’s degree in Economic and Social Sciences and International Cooperation at the University of Rome - La Sapienza, and having previously achieved a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration at the University of Rome – Tor Vergata, nowadays I work as a consultant of FAO. I firmly believe that MESCI will be a rare opportunity to improve my skills and expertise while developing a strong technical competence in development issues, a stepping stone for increasingly become a relevant factor of change.
