I am a researcher interested in government accountability and transparency, open government and co-production of public policies. Currently, I work as a non-tenured researcher (RTD-A) at the Department of Business Administration of the University of Bergamo, Italy (my webpage).
As an activist, I am co-founder and president of Monithon Europe ETS – a civil society initiative allowing citizens to verify how EU money is spent. I am a member of the scientific committee of the national government portal OpenCoesione.
Prior to joining the University, I worked as a public policy analyst for several government agencies and ministries in Italy for nearly 20 years, dealing with European regional policy and the digital transformation of the public sector. During the same period, I have been part of research groups at the Center for Technology in Government (New York, USA), Sapienza University of Rome, and the University of Urbino (Italy).
I have a Ph.D. in Public Administration and Policy from the State University of New York (SUNY) at Albany, where I have specialized in Public Management – Government Information Strategy and Management. I also hold an MSc in Innovation Management from Sant’Anna School, Pisa.
I have authored international academic papers (see my publications on Google Scholar) and research reports on digital government services diffusion and quality, ICT governance at the local level, open government strategies, European policy.
