Luigi Assom

Industrial Psychology tests describe me as an enthusiast, with strong traits oriented to solve complex challenges. I pursued a holistic background in Strategic Thinking and Sustainability Studies. I had the opportunity to work on different innovation aspects related to data-modelling, information architecture, human Centred Design. I have passion for planning strategic use of technology and I am a good communicator, with aptitude for systems thinking, for identifying critical drivers and structuring sustainable solutions aligned with business themes, users’ behaviour, requirements. I also co-founded and led a tech startup, where I demonstrated a mindset for connecting complex ideas, collaboration and support for my team, and problem-solving to create value out of few resources. I am driven by values of sustainability, innovation and inclusivity.
