In 2001, he moved to New York, where he worked at the economic and financial desk of the ANSA agency and as a correspondent for newspapers such as Il Secolo XIX and Corriere Economia, covering topics related to the economy, Wall Street, the Federal Reserve, and the energy market. After graduating and obtaining his qualification as a professional journalist, he was hired in Rome in 2003 by the Adnkronos agency to coordinate the start-up phase of a service providing analysis and information on emerging markets and raw materials (Adnkronos/Marketwatch). In 2008, he was recruited by the U.S. group Dow Jones to lead the Italian operations of the Energy & Commodities division.

In 2021, he published the essay “Materia Rara’, come la pandemia e il green deal hanno stravolto il mercato delle materie prime, edito da Guerini & Associati” , published by Guerini & Associati.
