Flavio Notari

My dedication lies in fueling entrepreneurial innovation. I have a genuine enthusiasm for delving into the intricate world of the tech industry, both as an educator and as an advisor. With my extensive knowledge of taxation (being an Italian Certified Accountant and Statutory Auditor), and my "business-forward" mindset, I discover fulfillment in facilitating venture capital investments and M&A transactions within the tech sphere. These endeavors often demand a substantial arsenal of creative problem-solving skills.
