Share your journey to Bain.

After earning my PhD in quantum physics from Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, I worked 10+ years in academic research and teaching in different EU institutions. This work involved algorithms, data, and modeling via quantum simulations. I saw an exciting opportunity to plant my feet firmly on unfamiliar ground in interdisciplinary artificial intelligence, which led me to spend 3+ years as a senior data scientist and managing AI consultant before joining Bain as a senior manager.

Throughout Bain’s interview process, I sensed that this opportunity would be an ideal match for these aspects.
