Hands-on support
“The impediment to action advances action, what stands in the way becomes the way."
If you're reading this, you've reached a point where you need guidance.
Let me tell you if I'm that person.
I'm Giulia. On paper, I'm a technical co-founder and a PhD in Data Science. I've built AI models that diagnose rare diseases in children at a leading pediatric hospital in Rome. I secured funding through Berkeley SkyDeck (1% acceptance rate). I authored a patent in 4 months at NEC Labs.
But I wasn't the brilliant student who had it all. I spent years getting in my own way. The real obstacles weren't the technical challenges or the competition. I learned that most barriers are internal. Your career isn't stuck because you lack skills but because of how you think about yourself, how you present your work, and the stories you tell yourself about what's possible.
That's where I come in. I'm not here to teach you another framework or give you generic career advice. I'm here to help you see the invisible patterns holding you back and cut through years of wasted effort with unconventional, lateral thinking.
What I Bring:
- Real hiring experience. As a founder, I've interviewed dozens of candidates. I know what makes someone unforgettable (hint: it's never technical perfection).
- Startup founder. I've pitched to Silicon Valley investors and won funding in one of the most competitive programs in the world. I can help you sharpen your pitch, validate your business model, and find your unique angle.
- PhD survival. I can help you navigate research, publications, and the scary transition beyond academia.
What You Actually Get:
We'll work on career strategy, interview preparation, personal branding, technical guidance, startup mentorship, or PhD support.
The Truth:
I'm not for everyone, but if you're looking for someone who will challenge your assumptions, identify your blind spots, and help you think differently about your path, let's talk.
