“I worked with Enrico for more than a year, and right from the outset, their enthusiasm for the role and dedication to partnering with my team were evident. As we began our collaboration and continued to work together, it became increasingly clear that Enrico possessed an aptitude for their responsibilities and continued professional development. They demonstrated an extensive understanding of funders, proactively sought out new opportunities, built on existing relationships, and exhibited a deep knowledge of the research and funding landscape as a whole. Moreover, Enrico adeptly engaged with a diverse array of stakeholders, further enhancing their value in that role and team.”
