Background

About Anna Sofia Zanada

I have a diverse background in the world of innovation, startups, and communities. Currently, I am the Community Manager of Randstad Box, the new project by Randstad HR Solutions in Famagosta (MI), a free coworking space. My role involves getting to know people and their stories, connecting them, coordinating events, and developing engagement strategies for a lively and growing community. Here, I also curate the newsletter *Scàtula*, where every month I discuss a topic related to the world of work and education in a humorous and accessible way, which I believe says a lot about me. You can subscribe and read previous issues here:[https://candidateexperience.randstad.it/iscrizione-a-scatula](https://candidateexperience.randstad.it/iscrizione-a-scatula). In my previous experience at Plug and Play Tech Center, I had the privilege of planning and managing acceleration programs for startups in the Food, Fintech, and Sustainability sectors. There, I discovered my passion for supporting entrepreneurs and building valuable networks. As an Ambassador EMEA for Plug and Play FoundHER, I contributed to creating a global network supporting women entrepreneurs, promoting innovation and female leadership. ‍ But I didn't start here! At InnovUp, I worked on regulatory affairs and public relations, supporting the Italian innovation ecosystem and managing international projects. I love exploring new horizons and facing challenges that require creativity and teamwork. I also specialized in communication management and community building through my role as Head of the Research Department at Privacy Network, where I led initiatives to raise awareness and protect digital rights. My academic background from Luiss Guido Carli University, the University of Trento, and my international experiences at Corvinus University of Budapest and SciencesPo Strasbourg have provided me with a solid foundation in politics and digital technologies, enriching my strategic and innovative vision. I am always on the lookout for new challenges and opportunities to grow and contribute to change. Let’s connect and innovate together! 🤝
