Gioele Novoa
Bocconi BSc · Strategy & Operations at Temposy · Digital Growth at El Caracol
About
I'm a third-year Business Administration and Management student at Bocconi University, currently spending a semester at McGill University in Montreal. Alongside my studies, I work on two ventures at different stages: Temposy, where I am part of the three-person founding team, and El Caracol, my family's restaurant and hotel in Lunigiana, Tuscany.
At Temposy, I work across strategy and operations as we build a digital marketplace for experiences and events. At El Caracol, I lead digital strategy and business development — from the website and analytics to performance marketing and commercial initiatives.
These experiences have given me end-to-end ownership and direct accountability for outcomes. They have also made clear what I want to learn next: how to make decisions across markets and cultures, coordinate more complex organisations, and turn strategy into execution. I am particularly interested in international management, consulting and entrepreneurship.
