Professional Background


  • Anna has started her career in architecture & interior design. She was a partner in an architect studio in Switzerland and later ran her own interior design practice in Milan. Over the 10 past years she gradually transformed her focus to become a cultural mediator and advisor for families in transition. Anna has built specific expertise in catering for the needs and challenges of stay-at-home spouses.
  • A serial expat spanning across Europe, North America and Asia, Anna felt one day that her experience and passion can help and support others who face issues commonly linked to living outside one’s comfort zone such as adaption to cultural diversity, lack of sense of belonging and even stress.
  • In 2016, while living in New York, Anna launched Moms&Boxes – a global community and network in support of trailing spouses. In Israel, where she has last lived prior to moving to Singapore in August 2020, she was a Board member of the American International School and led its Community and Hospitality Committee assisting and catering to incoming relocating families.
  • Over the years, Anna has also worked in PR, Events and Communications in her native city of Milan building connections between Europe and Asia.

Specialty & Expertise

  • Given her personal and professional experience Anna’s coaching is especially tailored to support clients dealing with cross-cultural and transition issues but also self development and empowerment. However she is always keen and ready to meet and work with clients from all walks of life.

Personal Background


Originally from Milan, Italy, Anna has lived over the past 11 years in seven different places – Geneva, Taipei, Montreal, New York City, Shanghai, Tel Aviv – before landing in Singapore last August. If she could turn back time, she would do it all once again as all these experiences have really helped her adopt a more open and flexible mindset and an insatiable curiosity towards people’s different cultures and stories.

A profound optimist and life lover, in her free time, Anna enjoys reading, sketching, photography, travels but most of all a nice meal and a glass of wine with friends and family. She is married and has two kids.
