Background

About Gianmarco Rigon

Believer in a Better World | Strategic Philanthropy unit coordinator at AVSI | Humanitarian & Development Enthusiast I’m on a mission to create a world where peace, dignity, and harmony with nature are accessible to all. Currently, I’m working as a Partnership Officer with AVSI, an international NGO focused on humanitarian aid and development cooperation. I believe in the power of partnerships—because real change happens when we join forces and bring our strengths together! Before AVSI, I’ve worn many hats - Customer Success Manager, sales, biz dev, waiter, delivery guy, Check-Inner… you name it! These diverse roles gave me a wide perspective and taught me the importance of understanding people, adapting to change, and building connections - nice skills to have to build partnership, if I might! When I’m not working, you’ll find me diving into my other passions: I’ve been playing water polo for 20 years (still a huge fan of all things sports!), I’m a history geek, and I love exploring the depths of sociology and psychology. These interests shape how I think, work, and approach life. Having lived in Kenya, Argentina, Portugal, and Rome (now based in Milan), I’m always open to new experiences, challenges, and opportunities. Curious and adaptable, I’m ready to dive into whatever comes my way, whether it’s tackling global issues or having a good chat about plants and cookies. So, if you want to-> Tackle global issues by starting with local problems (think waste management or planting trees)-> Grab a couple of beers to dive into psychological or historical twists -> Go for a run or a hike -> Talk about sustainability and how little we are doing in the world, but still being extremely positive Hit me up!
