Martina Borsato

Data Strategist

Martina Borsato

Where I’m from
A degree in cultural heritage management, a period of study abroad, and a great hunger for beauty in all its forms have allowed me to live different experiences, from being a freelance copy to strategic advice in the cultural and social impact field. From here, LBV was a natural landing, to start again with a revolutionary challenge, which I really feel is mine.
My city? Distracted gaze, ice kiss: Milan!

Where I want to go
Backpacking, to infinity and beyond! (But also towards the sofa or a hot bath it’s fine …)

An object that represents me
A battery: my nickname as a child was Duracell, for energy and charge. Today my refills are many, and among my favorites there are books, cappuccinos and smiles, but above all my daughter Lea.

My Motto
“Take life lightly, which lightness is not superficiality, but gliding over things from above, not having boulders on the heart”
Italo Calvino, American lessons

Stakeholder Engagement

Donata Ruzzenenti

Where I’m from

Milano is my city, the world is made for discovering one journey at a time. I started working as a “runner” for BBC productions in Italy and from there the television was my workplace for many years: news, information programs. At Life Based Value, I’m involved with Stakeholder Engagement, looking after and managing the relationships we have in Italy and abroad with the CEO and the key stakeholders in the business.

Where I want to go

I’ve learned to be amazed by life. I’ve learned to start again. I’ve learned to look forward and accept the challenge. I’m ready to learn again!

An object that represents me

My phone belongs to me, it helps me at work, it helps me communicate, to listen. It’s the object that best represents my need to be connected with reality.

My motto

“The things that we love can never be owned completely. They are simply looked after”(Gaio Valerio Catullo)

An object that represents me

My motto

Creativity is invention, experimentation, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes and having fun.
