A New Chapter

October 1st. New badge, new desk, new chapter.

After my time at Espiù, I made a decision that scared me a little — and that, I’ve learned, is usually a good sign. I joined Enernext, a startup, and from day one it felt different. Not just new. Different.


There’s something about a startup that you can’t really explain until you’re inside one. The pace, the weight of every decision, the sense that what you build today actually matters — not someday, not eventually, but right now. Everything is closer to the surface. The product, the people, the purpose.

At Espiù I grew a lot. I learned things I couldn’t have learned anywhere else, and I’m grateful for every bit of it. But at some point you feel a pull — toward something bigger, something unfinished, something that needs you to help figure it out.

That pull brought me here.


I won’t pretend I wasn’t nervous. Startups are uncertain by nature. The road isn’t mapped. But that’s also exactly what makes it exciting — you’re not following a path, you’re helping to build one.

And honestly? That energy is contagious. The kind that makes you stay ten more minutes not because you have to, but because you want to see where the next idea goes.


I don’t know exactly what the next months will look like. But I know I’m in the right place to find out.

New chapter. Let’s go.
