Luca Montanari

I am passionate about transformations—personal, digital, and agile. I love driving myself and others to become better versions of themselves through effort, learning, and change. I believe in embracing diversity and strive to create inclusive and supportive environments as a key to enabling people to fully express their potential. I enthusiastically support and promote agility since discovering that its underlying values align with my own and foster widespread well-being.

I am a multipotential individual with a spiky personality. This gives me unique strengths and vulnerabilities. I have an analytical mind and enjoy exploring and generating ideas. I am drawn to peculiarities, which sometimes makes me hyperfocus or completely lose focus. My socio-emotional reciprocity is quite unconventional—you may see me struggling when I am the center of attention, or I might completely miss your cues.
