Living our values

“Being born in a family that works hard to reduce inequalities has shaped me. My parents are fully dedicated to social inclusion through a non-profit organisation founded ~40 years ago. One sister leads a start-up, another is an artist. None of them have chosen an easy path, but all have been pivotal in creating opportunities and changing lives. That’s why “choosing right over easy” resonates with me: my family showed me that, with kindness and tenacity, right over easy always pays off.”
