Cristina has been passionate about Analytics ever since her first grade teacher talked about odds probability when tossing a coin! Ever since, she has focused on building a strong analytics knowledge and experience directed at solving everyday business problems, with experience ranging across different industry with a strong expertise in the financial sector. She currently leads a team of analytics experts across EMEA that collaborate in supporting customers, events, and generate ideas in the continuously changing data science space.

Cristina is enthusiastic about discussing innovative topics and understand how SAS analytics can best apply to enhance the customer’s processes, no matter which individual SAS product will be used! She enjoys speaking at public events and she doesn’t mind keeping in touch with the academic world to understand what’s cooking in the new data scientists’ minds.

Cristina holds a Master’s Degree in Statistics, which she obtained “internationally” having spent part of her time in Spain and in the U.S., preparing her thesis as a visiting scholar at University of California, Berkeley.

Cristina lives in Milan and in her free time she loves to spend time with her daughter and husband, read, watch TV series, go skiing and shopping (mostly for shoes).
