| Objective and Resume Summary: |

I am looking for a permanent position in an international environment, where I can make the most of my academic background and professional experience. Luxembourg would have my preference, for several reasons, among of them the fact it holds a huge number of international Institutions and organisations, with the associated advantages.
My last assignment, at NATO HQ, provided me with an extensive and precious knowledge of the resources issues in the Atlantic Alliance: resource policy, civil and military budgets, investment programmes, and project general assessments (IT, civil construction, and military equipment). As a member of the Infrastructure Committee (IC) and the Senior Resources Board (SRB), I had also the occasion to get a particular and intense acquaintance with the NATO Office of Resources (NOR), and a general overview of some NATO Agencies, mainly NAMSA, NC3A, NCSA, and CEPMA.
Moreover, other significant areas of the Alliance were as well object of my attention and work, such as on-going operations, intelligence, terrorism, energy security and economic issues, crossing the different NATO HQ Divisions, Strategic Commands (SHAPE and SACT) and most current and relevant topics.
International relations, diplomacy, economics, management, logistics, political and military analysis are among my strong points, following not only my recent experiences, but also the academic diplomas I got from European and US Schools, as listed in the CV.
Currently, I am attending at the Boston University Brussels, the Project Management Programme and the Master in International Relations, in order to improve my skills, get updated and keep contact with academia.
In principle, I would be available for this position or another one that might better fit my qualifications and interests, expressed above, in short time (not more than one month). Certainly, that I would need further information, regarding other details. I am sending enclosed, my CV.
Thank you for your kind attention. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
